D.C. stands for del capo. Del Capo basically means to go back to the beginning. al Fine means- to (the place where it says) fine. All together, DC al fine means- go back to the beginning and play till the fine.

In piano What does DC Al Fine mean?

In any music DC Al Fine means play through the end, and then repeat but only play to the Fine.


In music what does DC stand for?

DC in music stands for Da Capo, which is Italian for "go back to the beginning".Often, DC is used along with DC al Fine, meaning Da Capo al Fine, which means go the the beginning and continue to the "fine", which is the ending.Constrast this with DS, meaning Da Segno, which means go back to the sign, or DS al Fine which means go back to the sign and continue to the ending.Sometimes, there is a coda, which is an alternate ending, somewhat like a secondary or tertiary repeat.


Do DC's and DS's need to be followed by an al coda or al fine or can you write DC or DS by itself and keep playing after the repeat?

I'm not sure about the exact rules, but I have an opinion as a performer. If a piece has a coda following the DC or DS it is nice to be reminded or warned again. Same rule of thumb with an "al fine" situation, it just helps clarify the "road map" for the piece of music being performed.

What does Fine mean in sheet music?

Fine means the end. It's pronounced "FEE-nay" and comes from the same root word as finished. Fine is necessary to use when the end of the song is not at the end of the last staff of music. In this case there will be a D.S. al FINE or D.C. al FINE to return to. Then continue from either the sign or the beginning (respectively). The intended ending will be designated with the word FINE.
