How is the instruction 'Da capo al Fine' executed?

• A. Return to the beginning and play until the Fine marking.
• B. Jump to the Coda then go to the Fine.
• C. Play from the end to the beginning without repeats.
• D. Skip the first section and start at the Fine.

Answer: (A)

Da capo al Fine means go back to the very start and play again until you reach the Fine marking, then stop. “Da capo” tells you to return to the beginning, and “al Fine” tells you to end at the point labeled Fine. This creates a repeat that ends at that specific spot on the second pass. It doesn’t involve jumping to a coda or skipping ahead—those would be different directions like “Da capo al Coda” or similar. So the correct description is: return to the beginning and play until the Fine marking.
