I'm working on Verdi's "La Donna E Mobile" in the Alfred's second year book and have a question about a notation character that's not defined anywhere in the book.

In the last measure, there's a character that looks like a mathematical "greater than" sign rotated 90 degrees so that the vertex or point is on top. Does any one know what this character means?

It's an accent.

"If we continually try to force a child to do what he is afraid to do, he will become more timid, and will use his brains and energy, not to explore the unknown, but to find ways to avoid the pressures we put on him." (John Holt)
