Hi - In the Rubank Advance Book 1, on page 69 lesson 2 (Melody by Robert Schuman, op 68, No.1) there are two marks I'm not sure I understand, and I want to know what they mean so I can practice this week's lesson correctly. So thanks in advance......
1) In several measures below the staff and under the first note is the following: <>
I know that < (and especially when it extends for a while) means go from soft to loud, and > means go from loud to soft, but what does it mean when both are under the same note?
2) Under the first quarter note of the second to last measure it says "rit" and the t has a front slash through it. I have no idea what that means.
Dave will be impressed if I actually play the piece as written, so your gracious help will be greatly appreciated.
Jeff
