What its lesson teaches

2.10 Return after the trio

Play the Primo of Diabelli’s Scherzo and Trio, Op. 149 No. 6, with the app playing Secondo. The Scherzo in C ends at Fine (bar 32); the Trio, in C minor, follows; Da Capo al Fine (bar 48) sends you back to the opening to end at Fine. Compare that return with the minuet-and-trio plan in the card, then prepare a complete performance.
