De capo al fine

"De capo al fine" is a musical term that instructs performers to repeat a section of music from the beginning (the "capo") until they reach the designated ending point (the "fine"). This directive is often seen in sheet music and indicates that the performer should return to the start of the piece, typically after a repeat sign, and continue until the specified endpoint. It is a common form of repetition used to create structure and emphasis in a musical composition.
