I was reading a page (<http://kids.goo.ne.jp/shirabemono/detail.html?id=153>),
but I couldn't understand this phrase:

> 音楽は、音をきいたり **かなでたり** して楽しむものだね。

I understand the "tari form" (or whatever it is called) is being used here,
first with 聞く, then with another verb. But I couldn't figure out which verb is
かなでたり.

So, which verb is it?

Thank you.

words verbs
Understanding かなでたり
奏でる, which is the verb “to play” when talking about, among other instruments,
the guitar (can also use 弾く、かき鳴らす) and the violin.

You should also note for future reference that the only way a verb can end
with an え-row kana and then たり is if たり replaced る.
