playing some classical guitar, and it has a "dolce" under some notes. Should I play it smooth or in a springy, happy tone?

It means to play with emotion, gently, sweetly.

It means to play sweetly. It probably would be a good idea to get a music dictionary. I also play classical guitar and some of the music books tell you in the front pages (sometimes in the back) the definitions of the foreign words.

dolce means sweetly
so, play it sweetly, think of candy, and how happy it is

Is the note smaller? Is there a repeat or a chorus in the music? Sometimes if a note is only played the second time through to allow an extra word the note will be smaller.

"Dolce" means "sweetly" in Italian. So, sing sweetly.

sweetly... linger on the personality notes, and play it genuinely. think about ho you would play it as if to serenade the one you love, or put a baby to sleep. play as if refreshed by a cool breeze in a summer night.

It means "sweetly".
Play the melody with your heart in your fingers.
Express the tender feelings it conveys.

It means "sweetly". This is somewhat open to personal artistic interpretation. I would say: smoothly, not staccato.

'dolce" is 'sweet" of course. Go from there.
