What does playing the world's smallest violin mean?

The answer below is interesting but you may rest assured the expression goes back a lot farther than a late 1970's episode of M*A*S*H. In fact the show writers may have been trying to tell us that the expression was around in the early 50's when the show is set. I don't know for sure about that but definitely an older expression.

: I'm far from certain it's the original source, but the earliest use of the "world's smallest violin" phrase I am aware of is in an episode from the sixth season of the American sitcom "M*A*S*H." : The episode, "Your Hit Parade," first aired on January 4, 1978. In it, Maj. Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) complains to Maj. Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) that Winchester has been displaced from his tent, "The Swamp," by cots full of post-operative wounded soldiers. Showing Winchester her thumb and forefinger rubbing together, Houlihan responds: "Charles, do you know what this is? It's the world's smallest violin, and it's playing just for you." : It's hardly definitive, but it seems at least possible to me that that gag (and/or the finger part of it) was created by Ronny Graham, the screenwriter for "Your Hit Parade."

How do you type a musical note symbo?

If you are using a Windows operating system, hold down the Alt key and enter the ASCII number on the numeric keypad.

Alt + 13 = ♪

Alt + 14 = ♫

You can also use Alt + the Unicode value.

In Linux, you can do this by pressing Ctrl+Shift+u followed by the Unicode value in Hex, then press Enter. However, in most Linux cases, the Ctrl+Shift+U combination usually takes a desktop screenshot. If you know any other combinations, improve above.

2669 = ♩

266A = ♪

266B = ♫

266C = ♬

266D = â™­

266E = â™®

266F = ♯

In Mac OS X, click the flag icon in the right side of your menubar, and choose "Show Character Viewer." On the left side of that window, choose "Miscellaneous Symbols" and scroll down for notes (♩♪♫♬) or "Musical Symbols" for accidentals, barlines and clefs (? ? ? ? ? ♭ ♮ ♯ ? ?).

If you have no flag icon, or if the Character Viewer is not one of the options, open System Preferences (from the Apple menu at the top left), and click "Lanugage & Text," and then "Input Sources" to enable Character Viewer.

Some hints:
  • Make sure your keyboard is in NumLock mode.
  • Note that many laptops have a blue FN key that changes a set of keys (also with blue numbers on them), into a numeric keypad.
  • If you don't have a numeric keypad for some reason, you can open the character map (available on any OS), which will allow you to choose from a graphical list of all available characters by selecting them, also allowing you to search by unicode number and several other options:
    • Windows (before XP):Start>Programs>Accessories>System>Character Map
    • Windows (XP and beyond): Start>All Programs>Accessories>System>Character Map
    • Ubuntu (probably other GNOME based Linux distros too):Applications>Accessories>Character Map
  • Linux using KDE: click the KDE menu and type Character Map

How do you develop the whistle register?

First you should drink plain water and warm up before any whistling. After that start in vocal fry and slide up in the whistle register because they work in similar ways. ...if it hurts STOP! No pushing. The sound is made by the vocal cords vibrating very fast. This register starts at D#6. The whistle sound may not come out at first it will be very hard to hear but if you have a squeak (the whistle is supposed to just fly out of you. When it does remember what that felt like and squeak some more until your vocal cords are used to the feeling. ***DO NOT LIFT LARYNX IT IS NOT THE WHISTLE REGISTER JUST A VERY HIGH UNHEALTHY NOISE*** Hoped this helped if you have anymore questions just ask.

Why do some musical pieces start and finish on the same note?

A song usually begins and starts in the same key, but it doesn't always have to start and end with the same note. However, the last note of a melody can help you guess the key in which that melody was written. For example, if we have a song and it ends with a C, than the key should be C major or minor.

The chord formed on the tonic note -(the tonic being C, in our example) is the most significant chord in a key. To maintain the tonality, our song should finish with the C note (which is the first note of the tonic chord) and start with a note which is contained in the tonic chord (either C, E/Eb, or G). Most of the composers prefer to start with the first note of the chord, so that's why there numerous cases in which the music starts and ends with the same note.

What about it? It's effectively what it sounds like, 9 beats per measure. Someone on a music forum described it really well by saying think of it as a 6/8 with an added triplet thrown in. So it winds up having 3 beats, each with a triplet (hence the 9) per bar. Or if you want to simple it up a little you could just count 9 beats.

Half note- 2 beats

Quarter note - 1 beat

Eighth note - 1/2 a beat

Sixteenth note - 1/4 of a beat

32nd note - 1/8 beat... and the list goes on.
