Pimientito -> RE: Miller's Dance Rasgueo pattern (Jan. 3 2012 10:08:55)
|
I dug out the score of this again. You are correct Richard, it is a farruca. Now it seems to me a bit nonsensical to expect a classical musician to interpret a farruca if they dont know what a farruca is! These rasgueo patterns are scored but not fingered and that gives rise to all sorts of interpretations with varying degrees of authenticity.
I have uploaded a fragment of the score. This is the first rasgueo and rhythmically it goes "diddy di diddy di dum dum, dum (rest) diddy di dum dum" The first beat is marked as rasgueo so you could easily do a,m,i on the first beat followed by up, down, up with the first finger for the pattern.
For me however, the rhythm of the farruca is best accented here by ending the last beat of the first bar with a downstroke with i and starting the next beat with p before doing a normal triplet rasguedo. The first rasgueo is scored FF (very loud) so I would do p,m,p triplet rasgeos for each first 4 beats, an upstroke of p for the first "dum" followed by a downstroke of i for the second"dum", a rest with the edge of the hand on the strings and then a strong downstroke with p to start the next bar. (hope that makes sense)
