the first tune i teach my violin students is 'Twinkle, twinkle little star'. i had one student who argued long and hard that they WERE NOT the same tune.... because, though the pitches are the same, the syllables are not, so there sometimes 16th notes in one where the other has 8th notes. i wonder what that kid became when he grew up? a banker? a gov't inspector? a professional lint picker?
