Falseta is the specific part of guitar in which a melodic musical
composition is developed with which color, character or ambience is given, and
which is among the bases of accompaniment of any flamenco style.
Iñaki Bolón García, Argentina
Falseta is a little staccato, plucking, chord combination... unaccompanied
by cante, which is carried out for both ornamental purposes and to give the cantaor
some time to catch his breath.
José Ángel, Spain
Falseta is a melodic line performed on flamenco guitar at the beginning, in
the interlude or at the end of a musical piece, where the performer demonstrates
his technical skills, whether they be of composition or improvisation.
Guillermo Espinosa, Venezuela
Falseta is a part of the musical flamenco structure where toque shows its personality,
through which the guitarist's style might even be identified. Over the falseta
the bailaor can perform, as in alegrías, shuffling steps.
Carolina Carvajal, the United States
A falseta is a melody made by the guitar, which has deep feeling and which
the bailaor uses to give free rein to his inspiration.
Rocío, Argentina
On guitar, falseta is a melodic phrase or flourish which is inserted between
the chords accompanying a cante.
Around the corners of cante, /- fingerboard, camellia and wine - / the falseta
looks, wind and fire. / From chilling depths, / clippings of water and beaten
gold, / the falseta calls a stanza. / Amidst staffs of chords / and twisted river
osiers / on the bridge of the immense rim / it tells its heart: come / come with
me!
Augusto García Flores, Spain
Falseta is a melodic variation on the guitar which tells a little story, which
answers a question by cante or baile and which ends with a final touch.
Jos Saelman, Holland
Falseta is a personal contribution, a momentary inspiration, an outburst of
sensitivity, a hopeless necessity, a subtle 'aduendado' passage.
Eric van Santen, Holland
A falseta is a musical phrasing on the guitar.
Cassan Visser, Holland
Falseta is a melodic phrase which the tocaor performs when the cantaor falls
silent, giving free rein to his personal inspiration and creating music loaded
with fantasy.
