| Section 4: | ||
| 37-52 | 16 saltarelli (the instructions say 12, but most recordings to 16) | |
| Section 5: | ||
| 53 | Middle scosso, Ends respond | |
| 54 | Middle does a doppio, left, away, alone | |
| 55 | Ends scosso, Middle responds | |
| 56 | Ends doppio, left, to catch up to the middle. | |
| 57 | Middle scosso, Ends respond | |
| 58 | Middle does a doppio, left, away, alone | |
| 59 | Ends scosso, Middle responds | |
| 60 | Ends doppio, left, to catch up to the middle; mezavolta (so the ends "switch" places) | |
| Most recorded sources repeat twice. | ||
| If there are three repeats, then in measure 56, instead of simply mezavolta-ing, End 1 will doppio to the opposite end | ||
| of the line, switching the order (Middle becomes End 1, End 2 becomes Middle, End 1 becomes End 2). And on the second | ||
| repeat, the same switching occurs (ending up E2, E1, Middle); on the third, switch back to starting positions. | ||
