Font Rectangle Parallel Tints and shades Music


I'm certainly confused by this page. I think that I'm supposed to play measure 1-8, then 1-6, 9-18, then how do I finish?

Can anyone help?

This is certainly a very loopy piece! But you play 1-8, repeat but skip measures 7 & 8 (or, as you say it, 1-6), then 9-18. D.C. al Fine basically means you go back to the beginning and then play till where it says Fine, so you would play measures 1-6, then skip to the second ending (as is the custom of D.C. al Fine... unless it specifies to repeat) 9 & 10.

All together -

1-8, 1-6, 9-18, 1-6, 9-10
Technically correct . . . BUT . . . for many players this is an opportunity to "get it over with", and skip the 1st ending the second time around.
