At the end of a movement I found the acronym M.D.C.
What does it means?
My best guess: "movimento da capo". (Do you need translation? :-)
mezzo da capo – half way back to the beginning.
molto da capo – even further back than the beginning!
1600 (as opposed to 42)
Do the previous piece on the program.
mai da capo - nevermore :-)
But out of joke?
What's the exact situation, Maurizio? What style and/or era of music? Instrumentation? Native language of composer? Is it the last movement, or an internal movement? AFAIK, it's not a standard abbreviation, but we might be able to figure it out if we knew a little more.
Bill, I found it in Mozart: horn quintett, one of the internal movements.
But what relieves me the most is "it's not a standard abbreviation".
That's already consoling. ;-) Thank you.
