The kind of this tune is chamber music, or the string quartet: Composition of musical instruments is 2 violins, 1 viola, and 1 cello.

The image is a thing by MAMPlayer: The horizontal axis shows time; The vertical axis shows the pitch; Difference of color shows difference of parts.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
