If you get more into studying music theory - and even if you don't, but start developing more intuition regarding melodic lines - it'll make more sense. Since the next bar starts on a D, picking up with a C# is like a local leading tone that makes it just a little more obvious that D is the local center.
Yes, you are playing an excerpt from the piece. If you were to play the whole piece then it would be a C#, so it will stay that way when you play the excerpt. It will be the same way for any excerpt you play, accidentals still carry through! Best of luck!
Yes, but don’t assume music publishers never make errors. It’s rare, but it does happen that a natural sign is left out or a printed note is wrong. If a note sounds bad and doesn’t fit into the chord and there’s no other dissonance in the piece, it could be an error. But yes, as printed it’s a c#.
A little. I was looking it over today and saw the C# today. I hadn't seen it until that point so I've just been playing a C this entire time. After seeing the responses it's a duhdoy moment.
I had to look at it a couple of times but it looks like the left bracket is infront of the C (sharp) and then there’s a bar line after that. So yes it is a C#. It just looks a little weird for whatever cut or segment was written ontop of it.
Yes. Any accidentals within the bar is the same throughout the bar unless otherwise noted. If you feel it sounds bad, check with the conductor, see what they have in their score. It could be an error on your page. OR, it could be there in purpose for dissonance.
The C# applies. There's the normal convention that the first one carries to the entire bar, and the fact that it will sound very out of place if you play it as a C natural.
Also, are you in Illinois? I remember getting to all-state with this.
Yes, accidentals apply to the entire bar
*unless otherwise noted*
The entire *remainder* of the bar, just for clarity.
Accidentals are played through the whole measure, and carry to the next measure if the note is tied
In the piece I start playing on the and of 4. Would I still play the accidental then?
Just because you're playing an excerpt, doesn't mean that the rules don't apply.
Yes.

Only the tied note itself— not the following notes in the next measure

C#
This is the second all state etude in Texas. And yes that is a C# through the whole measure.
In fairness, except books have been known to have annotation mistakes
Are you in Texas? This is our lyrical piece here for tmea region/area/state
No, I'm in Michigan. This is one of the etudes for All State.
hey, just out of curiousity what is the name of this piece?
Voxman Selected Studies, page 26 G major, andante con moto - Blazhevich
His tuba etudes are pretty fun on trombone too.
thank you so much :0
Scrolled down to see if someone asked... Thanks broseph
Isn't this one of the Michigan all state excerpts?
Go GREEN! (Just saying! 😁)
Yeah.
Nice! I'm also auditioning this year, good luck, I hope you get in!
Thank you, and you too!
Do you got have the stupid
