As I pour the water in the mug over the tea bag, it makes that sweet rising-scale sound as the cup fills.

E cumva un termen din muzică? Mulţumesc!

glissando


Explanation:
Acesta e termenul muzical, numai că el se referă atât la sunetul în urcare, cât şi la cel în coborâre...

aici "si face sunetul acela dulce/suav "do, re, mi "


Explanation:
In contextul asta literar n-as folosi un termen tehnic dar sensul e de "gama ascendenta" cum spune Irina.

"Do-Re-Mi"
The Sound of Music (1959)
Lyrics: Oscar Hammerstein II
Music: Richard Rodgers
C Major, 4/4 time
16 bars

Do, a deer, a female deer
Re, a drop of golden sun
Mi, my name, I call myself
Fa, a long long way to run
So, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow So
Ti, a drink with jam and bread
And that brings us back to Do!

What could be more cheerful or simple than "Do-Re-Mi"? More basic than a rising scale? You guessed it--I'm going to argue that this song is sophisticated and precise in what it expresses. The rising scale is indeed the basis of the song, but a lot goes on under its cover.

"Si apa cand o torn in ceasca peste ceai/pachetelul de ceai suna ca un suav/dulce 'do.. re..mi" whatever Bogdan. Fi poetic pentru textul se preteaza si trebuie sa evoci sunetul muzical .
