Farruca structure question
|
|
|
Hi All, Does the length of each section of the farruca conform to some general structure? especially the falseta? I hope I'm using the correct terms and my question makes sense. I searched and couldn't quite find the answer. Looking at various farruca pieces, I see one 4-beat measure of E7, then one 4-beat measure of Am, repeat the two measures, then one measure of Dm, back to Am, then E7, then Am for 3 beats and one rest. I understand this is the rhythmic questions & answers part. In between these are the falsetas. I was taught that the falsetas should follow the same length and chord structure, making it easier for the dancers and help them think about what to do next. Looking at various books I notice that some do follow the same chord structure and length, but others are a bit shorter. Is the structure only a general rule, and it varies for solo pieces? as opposed to dance accompaniment? Btw, I did learn a remate but haven't learned where to fit that in yet. Would be grateful for some clarifications. Thanks. fly
