Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Jan. 18 2009, 20:01 Off topic... sort-of ... I always liked Mike's 'simplified' version of Tárrega's piece more than the original. The latter has always sounded to me like nothing more than a technical showpiece - something that you play to show off how good you are at a particular playing skill, which in that particular case is ribattuti, i.e. rapidly repeated notes. I think Mike's version makes the melody much clearer, and the melody IMHO is lovely. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
