-Frycek 5000 Post Club Member Registered: 08/06/05 Posts: 5310 Loc: SC Mountains	How am I supposed to play the dotted half and quarter notes joined by the three bars? This is in a 1947 piece called The Teddy Bear's Picnic. _________________________ Slow down and do it right.

Arabesque 500 Post Club Member Registered: 05/16/05 Posts: 545 Loc: Japan	You may correct me if I'm wrong but the tremolo in the first bar is played over the full bar count and in the second bar it's played for half the bar count or one and a half. Tremolo marks usually connect to the two principal notes if they have bars and there is no likelihood of confusion. Hence the first bar is a joined tremolo. Otherwise they are separated as in the second bar example. But they are just tremolos nothing more, nothing less than that. _________________________ It don't mean a ting if it don't have dat swing

OperaTenor 500 Post Club Member Registered: 04/13/06 Posts: 961 Loc: Sandy Eggo, California	It looks to me like the second tremolo and the dots on the dotted quarters were handwritten in. Have you tried playing the second measure without the tremolo? I just tried it, and it feels like a cadence at the end of a phrase without the tremolo. _________________________ Happiness is a freshly tuned piano.

Gyro 4000 Post Club Member Registered: 04/24/05 Posts: 4521	The three bars connecting the treble notes indicate 32nds, so this implies that the temolo is played 4 to each beat note, which is the 8th note, since one 8th note equals four 32nd notes. So, you'd play 4-32nds to each 8th note: in the first measure, 3 groups of 4 (G-B D-F, G-B D-F/ G-B D-F, G-B D-F/ G-B D-F, G-B D-F) for each of the bass notes, the C octave and the B octave; and in the 2nd meas., 3 groups of 4 for the bass Ab octave.

swingal 1000 Post Club Member Registered: 07/31/05 Posts: 1094 Loc: England	That tune brings back memories and was one of my first songs I played, in a simple melody of course. I picked it out as I did when teaching myself to play when still at school aged about 10 then. 68 years ago and still learning! Alan.
