Etude of the Rain

Oh those pizzicato drops Play a frantic melody Tour the scale from high to low Bravo! from the sleepy heads below The maestro empties out the clouds And then so quickly steals away But he'll be back to play again So lovely to have my roof of tin.....
An etude is a musical piece, usually very difficult, that is especially written to help develop musical techniques...

Enjoyed reading your creative work..I wonder how many musical students ever get that far?..I saw a little boy on TV the other day age 9 I think who started playing the piano at age 3..He said that he could hear a song one time and them play it without any music..God blessed him with a superb gift..Thanks for the visi to my page..Sara

Aptly titled, clever and written so well that I actually imaged a tin roof before I got to the line. Wonderful!

I really like this, Barbara! Wonderful imagery! (I think you meant to put an apostrophe in he'll) This just flows so beautifully. Love, Kim
