Strident Violin!
SCREEEEEK! What's that sound that hurts your ear? What makes the cat run far from here? What's so scratchy, sharp, and bright, It wakes the dog up in the night...
SCREEEEEK!
What's that sound that hurts your ear? What makes the cat run far from here? What's so scratchy, sharp, and bright, It wakes the dog up in the night?
STRIDENT! STRY-dent! Harsh and screechy, sharp and thin! STRIDENT! STRY-dent! That's a brand-new violin!
SCREEK! SCRAWK!
What's grating like a rusty gate? What makes the neighbors run-not-wait? What squeals so high it cracks a cup? (the answer's me — I just picked up...)
STRIDENT! STRY-dent! Harsh and screechy, sharp and thin! STRIDENT! STRY-dent! That's a brand-new violin!
screek... screek...
But practice scales, and bow by bow...
(...one sweet note)
...not so strident.
