Hi,
Recently I've bee practicing a piece in C#minor and at the end of several passages an F is preceded by both a Natural and Sharp symbol. Interpretations, Please?
Enjoy
Johnnie

Are there places where the piece has modulated to perhaps G# minor giving rise to f double sharps? If so, the natural and sharp would be to remind you that you are now back to F#. Of course, many publishers put these things in as reminders when they should really be understood, according to the normal rules of music theory.
Hope this helps.
Vanessa.

The previous F was probably an Fx (double sharp)

Thank You Vanessa and GBK
There is definitely a double sharp in the previous bar in each instance, so as Vanessa mentions normal rules should apply.
OR
Is the double sharp a rule of its own affecting a following bar?
Enjoy

There's no special rule for double accidentals, AFAIK. They could have just left the accidental off in the following bar and it would be correct. The "natural-sharp" sign in the following bar is a courtesy accidental, placed there to remind you that you're supposed to play a single sharp, not a double sharp at that spot.
