Fourteen feisty fandango falsetas 5 votes

I've transcribed 14 falsetas, mostly of Niño Ricardo, that I've been playing for a few years now. Here's the URL:

http://www.ctv.es/USERS/norman/fandangonew.htm

Some are very short and can be used to articulate the others or to fill gaps, rather than standing alone.

I've found a way to reduce the size of JPG files scanned from printed copy. They look a lot better than the GIFs I've been using and aren't much bigger.

I too am grateful, thank you Norman, a most useful resource. Between these falsetas and Florian's compas we all certainly have material to keep busy.

This Forum is excellent, for the people are...

Thanks to all of you for your interest! I hope you look at ways to combine different parts of these ideas. If you pay attention to the compás, you can come up with several different variations which should help you to gain "fluency."

¡Viva la afición!
