In which order should I play parts of this tune? :)

>B0y8CPa.jpg

part A, part A

part B, part B

and then skip to segno / begining?
part A (only one time to Fine or two times?)

and then trio?
part C, part C

or the other way? :)
 
A A B B C C A

Without any skip after B to A? So way there are two segno marks?
 
Sorry - missed that.
:roll:
 
Clearly A A B B A C C as the Fine is written before reaching the repetition sign.
But you should hear how it sounds. It is possible that A is really a piece that should always be repeated in order to sound right and then it will be A A B B A A C C despite what it says. (When something isn't immediately clear I would write D.S. al Fine senza rep. (or con rep.) but not every composer or arranger is as clear...)
 
I would also say AABBCCAA. I've never seen a double Segno mark like that - very odd. But certainly the Trio is usually the 'middle bit' before a repeat of the first section, so AABBCCAA makes sense to me
 
Really, the only time strict adherence to the printed repeats, signs, actually any directional notations, and even the time values of the notes, is required, is when playing with others. When playing by yourself, play what sounds good to you
 
My vote is for AABBACC

But honestly if it were me and depending on how much time I wanted to take up playing it, I would do some combination that sounds pleasing to me and call it my arrangement.

Thank you, for all your answers :)

I think the same :)
 
Well, a Trio substructure is generally rendered as ABA form (with the reprise without repetitions). This one seems substructured, so I'd lean towards

AABBAACCABA

here, namely a reprise of the substructured first part without repetitions. I consider this slightly more likely than AABBACCABA . It would seem weird to end with a Trio without reprise: that's usually not what they are for. Though marches tend to be structured differently if that is what we are talking about (P.S.: just saw the 3/4 at the start, so we are more likely talking about, uh, menuets?).
 
Yeah, strange that there would be a segno at the very beginning of the piece. Usually they'd just leave it off and put a "da capo al[something]" in there.

Which is a sign (so to speak) that you're dealing with poorly-written and/or non-standard notation. In which case, all bets are off as far as what they intend for you to do.

That said, the form for these sorts of things might be something along the lines of AABBAACCAA. But if you don't think the A section can stand up to that much repetition, you can go with AABBACCA or even AABBACC. Then again, if it's a nice A section and a nice B section (some songs have really great B sections!) you could even go AABBAACCAABB.

It's folk music. Go nuts with it. :b

Thats because the Segno has nothing to do with Da Capo (cq. the beginning) in this case. Traditionally youd play always Da Capo after Trio.
 
Play what you think sounds best. This type of music is for playing and I’m sure repeating certain parts (or not) will not detract from the overall performance if it is fit for purpose. I stopped agonising over these things years ago.

Im talking about the very first segno, over the first measure. Theres no reason for it to be there.

Ok, here is what I was taught. Granted, it was a long time ago...

If there are two Segnos, no matter where they are, it means: repeat everything in between, disregard inner repetition. This is the same for the Coda-sign. I dont know there is another way of writing the same sequence for this, but this is likely the shortest way.

So what Im reading is:
AABBABCCA
 
I have the answer to my own question :)

I have asked a person who plays this music genre and this tune.
The parts are played: AA-BB-A-CC-A

Why A to fine when A ends at fine anyway? But anyway, that seems like a plausible version, and asking one who plays this genre was probably not the worst idea.
