Ah...

Col legno is the technique which the player uses the wood rather than the hair of bow on the strings. Usually this is a percussive technique (properly called col legno battuto) with no sustaining of the sound. The much less common alternative is col legno tratto which requires that the wood is drawn across the string as the hair is in a normal bow stroke.

Interrobang‽

Oh my, it's been nearly three weeks since my last post here. Anyways, out of boredom, in Wiki random article, I learned about yet another useless piece of information. The wonderful punctuation called interrobang!(?) ;D Let's all try to revive it. Why don't we all use it on the next essay we have to write?

Hmmm, oh wow, my blood pressure is at 90 right now. o.o No wonder I feel so tired.
