quote:
ORIGINAL: Ron.M El Tempul is pretty crazy. It's not like any other Bulerias, even Tomatito etc, where a certain "thread" runs through it and each falseta is in context. This chops and changes so much from 3's to 2's and is all over the place. The bit I find hard is to join the falsetas up in a convincing way, as the next falseta is so very different from the last. Anyone else feel that? cheers, Ron I am with Henrik, sorry Ron. I mean you are RIGHT in you observation, but wrong that what you feel is "unique" to THIS piece. And certainly Tomatito, for gosh sakes. The cool thing about flamenco improv, if that there need not be a thread to stitch together all the unrelated falsetas. Cante is the same deal...letras need not connect and tell a big story. Whatever you want you just jump in with it. Tomatito is a prime example in all his bulerias, because his falsetas tend to be short and to the point, though sophisticated. I admit SOME modern players are doing more of a "composition" thing, like Nunez's Trafalgar, or Vicente's stuff, or especially Manolo Sanlucar who goes from A-Z with every palo, and even puts a true "thread" in there to conect things. But PDL has ALWAYS been mixing un related falsetas in bulerias, even to the present concert tour. And the idea of composing a "piece" made of falsetas that progress some how goes back at least to Escudero's "Impetu". Perhaps you are just now picking up on it,the "jumping around like crazy" thing, which for sure is a good thing. Now maybe you start to notice it more even in modern players? Anyway, sounds like you are starting to get it under fingers, when will you upload? Ricardo
