Hi all - concerning Taranta, Malagueña, Rondeña, etc..
Speaking just for solo guitar pieces In terms of Paco and beyond era, what can one expect to hear in the presence of the copla section given the roots to Fandango?

More common in Taranta? What about Rondeña?
Thanks!
For guitar solo it's anything goes. No need to express the typical major key fandango 6 compas/phrase progression. In fact I would say that is a lazy compositional tool that a guitarist will develop to fill up a form that he is short on falsetas with. I speak for myself as I do that for Granaina and it's only cuz I am too lazy to make a proper original melody, so I just do media Granaina and answer myself.
Keep in mind it's probably bad taste to ever do such a thing when accompanying a singer! (I am curious to whether or not it has ever been done and who had the guts to do it?)
The famous Ramon Montoya Rondeña uses the Levantica melody (sort of), though another version exists where he does NOT use it...filling time again I guess?
