Lauro - La Negra (Vals Venezolano)Nicholas Petrou2011-09-07 | The composer, A. Lauro, used to play this piece (La Negra) at the same tempo (speed) as in this video. When A. Lauro played this piece, he did not make more rubato (tempo variation) than what is written on the score. If this piece is played with a lot of rubato (slowing down and speeding up all the time), it would not be in the correct style. Lauro's Venezuelan waltzes are inspired from the Venezuelan folklore and consequently the rhythm is as well. A. Lauro used to say to his students that they should respect the value of the 8th notes (quavers or "croches" in French) which means the rhythm should not have rubato (it is not a romantic waltz!). Those who are interested in playing this music correctly should listen carefully to the Venezuelan folklore in order to understand and feel the rhythm and style of the music. A. Lauro - in his music - has marked when the rhythm should be slowed down or held back (rit rall. etc.). Guitar: FletaNicholas Petrou - A. Lauro - ArmidaNicholas Petrou2011-09-07 | Nicolas Petrou plays this piece in the same way the composer, Antonio Lauro, used to play it in respect to the rhythm and the tempo.
