Tonight's music lesson...

...and the word of the night is --


Pizzicato

A directive to a bowed string instrument performer that the indicated notes are to be plucked with the fingers rather than bowed (arco). The abbreviation for this term is pizz.



However, I like my offering just a tad better --



Hemidemisemiquaver

The British term for Sixty-fourth note.




Gotta love a musician's sense of humor ;-)

Carry on!

PS -- tomorrow I will move the word of the day to the sidebar so I can comment on other things so please look for it there! Thanks!
