Good question and observation. It is not just "modern" rather the SOLO guitarist's interpretation that matters. And not just solea. When I play these same exact falsetas for a dancer, or to palmas, it is much more metronomic and steady, sometimes SUPER slow as well. When playing solo, the guitarist has room to interpret and stretch the time. Notice the ending part I speed up to solea por bulerias and keep the tempo much more clearly marked. What are the limitations is a matter of taste. You can't really do whatever. If you CAN'T play the falseta, whatever it is, to a metronome, than you are faking it IMO (for rhythmic forms of course not libre forms). I am not a big fan of Segovia and classical guitar, but he had a great quote or advice I heard on a video for a student once. He told a student who was playing very steady that she could be more free, but had to be careful. He said something like "it is in the delicate lack of respect for the rhythm, that one can define the good or the bad artist". What I take it to mean is, when you stretch the time you have to be careful and do it tastefully, depending on what it is. If you are learning the compas, use a metronome. You can't deliberately stretch time, if you don't have time to begin with. Once you have it down in the groove, your ear, experience, feelings, etc, will tell you where to go with it. Ricardo
