Trio Section

[Greg Tomlin]

I've come across this situation often and I was wondering if I'm interpreting it right.  the sheet music will be in an AABBA form with a trio written after it.  Is the trio section meant to be played in between repetitions of the AABBA part?  So the entire performance would be AABBA-C-AABBA?

 non ;;    (intro ) AABBA    C   ABA  ( coda )

Merci, that makes more sense.

Also, AABBA-C-ABA-Coda is probably a bit too much for the average modern listener. Some solos from the period abused repeats to the point of nausea, and I often cut out a couple of repeats just to make them more listenable. Variety is the spice of life.

LOL, I was just looking at Morley's "Musketeer's March" and it has sections A thru H...

AABCD-E(which is just AB with a different ending)FGH-GH-AB-C-AB-Coda.

Whew!~

The herpty derpty doo lettering system adopted by BMG as in "Musketeer's March" is nothing but a diabolical, miserly invention designed to cram solos that should have taken up two or three pages into a single page. I faced the same madness when learning Mazzeppa. I mean, some of the older TBB editions felt a bit cramped, but the later system was just ridiculous. In contrast, Cammeyer's editions used one of the best typesets I've seen in printed Classic banjo music, very good proofreading and handsomely published scores with plenty of breathing room between the staffs.
