Re: How many repeats do you take on Barret No. 11?

Hi Dutchy --

As far as the convention for repeats in the da capo, my understanding (and what my teacher always has me do) is that you do not take the repeats. I don't think oboe conventions are any different than those for other instruments in this regard.

The staccato under a slur is called "portato". So Google asked me, when I went looking for a site to document what I'm saying, "did you mean 'potato'?"

No, I meant "portato", as in you say potato, I say portato. It means to phrase the notes together, playing them longer than staccato but not slurred.

The other marks you mention are a type of accent that I would understand to mean a "forceful staccato". I don't know what they are called, and neither does the Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accent_%28music%29 The one at the bottom of the note is just the same symbol, flipped so that it attaches to the notehead.

Here's another good, basic site for musical notation symbols: http://www.answers.com/topic/modern-musical-symbols

So many different ways to say the same thing.

S.

Edit: I changed a word -- I meant to say, you play them longer than staccato, but not SLURRED.
