Flamenco guitar solos originate as unrelated falsetas that can be improvised at random. Eventually, a logical order can arise and a "piece" is born, but it does not have to go that way. Vicente is free to mix any falseta he wants into his "solea" solo live, and often does mix it up. I always felt that Vicente's Taranta tremolo for example, was inspired by Paco's "Fuente y Caudal". Perhaps Vicente has never composed a tremolo for solea that he felt was unique enough for recording. In the end, it is the player/composer's choice. Obviously Vicente likes tremolo for his toque libre (taranta, minera, Granaina, rondeƱa). Many other players prefer this too. I rarely hear tremolo in alegrias nowadays. Paco has a tremolo por bulerias on Luzia, and Manolo Sanlucar does a tremolo in Solea por bulerias on Tauromagia. But it is not so much fun to do that nowadays, as it is for tremolo in free tempo toques. Ricardo
