Mark2 -> RE: Any hopes of playing this with flamenco/fingerstyle techniques? (For Sephora - Rosenberg Trio) (Apr. 5 2017 21:22:45)

This is interesting-I've seen a lot of people play Entre dos Aguas who had zero chance of doing the fast parts. I've always thought if I can't cut the BEST parts of the tune, why would I play it? I realize that means I'll most likely never play it, but unfortunately there is a lot of music I'll never be able to play. I'm curious what others think. Is it worth it to play famous pieces even if you have to leave out the hardest, and possibly best, parts? Why? I don't know what the average Joe thinks when he hears it, but personally when I hear people play Entre, as they approach the fast picado runs, I'm waiting to see if it happens, and it's a huge letdown if it doesn't. OTOH, if they nail it, it's incredible. All those folks who say fast picado is not important in flamenco, well, I'd have to disagree. I think it's super important- not to do it all the time, but to break it out at the right time. quote:
ORIGINAL: mark74 I think this song could be covered as a rumba, but depending on your physiology and level of technique you may or may not ever be able to play the really fast parts. The question is do you love that music enough to want to play it without the flashy parts? You could just improvise around on the melody I mean why not?
