Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star is a popular English lullaby. The lyrics are from an early-19th-century English poem by Jane Taylor, The Star. The poem was published in 1806 in Rhymes for the Nursery, a collection of poems by Taylor and her sister Ann. It is sung to the tune of the French melody Ah! vous dirai-je, maman, which was published in 1761 and later arranged by several composers, including Mozart with Twelve Variations.
The song has one bending string, press, hold, string #11, from E5 to F5, play 2 times, release back to from E5, and play 2 times, in Phrase #2, #3, #4 and #6.
