Hey, all !! Just wondering.. when you are playing a piece of music for piano and there are two treble cleft bars (one on top of the other) on top of the base cleft bar which one do you play if playing both treble cleft bars is physically impossible? I am finding it difficult trying to make the song sound right when I can't figure out which octave to play it in... and with three bars I am supposed to be playing at the same time I am sort of confused.... I'd appreciate input... Thanks very much....

maybe the song is meant to be a duet. like you just play the 1st treble clef and someone else plays the 2nd treble clef and the bass clef

Yeah, I think tg53 is right. It's probably some sort of duet.
Take a look to the left of the three staves. Do you see anything that looks like a brace (one of these -> { )? Usually you'll see this symbol when staves are meant to be grouped together. In this case, if it is a duet, a brace will group two staves together (for the piano part), and the other staff (the other instrument) will be outside of the brace.

Maybe it's the voice line you are looking at?

no, the treble cleft on the bass line means to play treble, too. It would either say divisi or duet on top, or on the staff.

Fred, stick to burgers...
If you look at the middle set of five lines, it repeats the top line with the addition of the harmony notes, in other words the top set of five (in the case of a vocal piece) is what the voice is singing, the middle set of five is the vocal line combined with the chords, or other musical arrangemant. The third line down is the bass.
If you are going to play the vocals and instrumental as a solo piece, for example on guitar, you would play the middle set of five lines.

Actually if you look at the two staffs and see a { it means that both bars are to be played together because that would make it a grand staff. If there is no { than it maybe a duet etc. If you really want to find out how it is supposed to be played find a recording of it, at least then you will know if it is a duet or solo.
