Ramon Montoya Solea vs. Modern Solea
|
|
|
Let me start off by saying, I'm not trying to spark any heated debate. I am seeking information for educational and historical purposes. I bought the solea falseta collection from Norman Kliman (which is awesome by the way!), and I'm noticing that soleas from the early 1900s, Ramon Montoya being the guitarista I'm listening to, plays at a much faster tempo than current day solea. I am wondering a couple of things, first, am I on the right track here, or am I hearing things incorrectly? And two, if older soleas were played much faster, why is that the case and what may have driven solea to slow down? Older solea falsetas seem more fundamental in terms of technique, but played extremely fast which greatly increases the difficulty. While modern soleas seem to have increased rhythmic and technical complexity at slower tempos. Has anyone else noticed this?
