REPEAT SIGNS



In a music piece often there is the use of repeat signs.
Normally they have a thin line, a fat line and two dots. Very often there is the use of the repeat sign in combination with the signs with 1. and 2.
When you repeat the part and play it for the second time, you skip the bar with 1. Look at the example below:



In the large example above, you see the Italian word "Da capo al Fine". This means: from the start and
stop at the word "fine", that is: the end. Very often you see: D.C. al fine, instead of Da capo al Fine.



Very often we see the word "Segno", that is Italian for sign. It is used in: Dal Segno al Fine (repeat from the Sign and stop at Fine) or in Dal Segno al Coda. (repeat from the Sign and then to Coda)
As you can see in the large example above, there are two Coda-signs. When you repeat from the start or from Segno, you play until the first Coda-sign and continue at the second Coda-sign.
That last piece is called the Coda, the endpart of the music piece.
