What does to coda mean in sheet music for violin?

Answer 1

This term is usually preceded by "Dal Segno" or "Da Capo", which means "from the sign", or "from the beginning", respectively.

When used with these terms, it means: "Start from the beginning/sign and play until the coda symbol, then play the coda part".

Answer 2

"To Coda" means that instead of continuing to play the passage, you must instead skip to a separate section of the piece, above which will say "Coda".

Answer 3

DC stands for da capo (to the top) so you go back to the beginning and then when the music says to coda you go to the coda, which is a separate section at the end

Answer 4

A Coda means a finale, or an ending. So a musician who had a long career puts out their final songs and these final songs are the coda.

Answer 5

Back to beginning
