Introduction to the Piano Flamenco by Carlos Torijano Carrasco. Vol 1

This book contains an initiation method to the flamenco piano as accompaniment to

sings, as a guitar would do.

The followed school is the School of Jerez. For it, we have detailed every Palo, or flamenco style, in its elementary components: introductions, variations and closings.

Combining them, we will be able to accompany, to a basic level, to a flamenco singer.

The major or minor success in the choice of the variation will depend on our own musical taste.

In the First part of the book there are detailed which are the typical skills used in Flamenco guitar and its adjustment for piano, later on, in the Second part, basic tools are given to be capable of making a peace of each one of the Flamenco Palos studied.

In this first book, we will only focus on the fundamental Palos of Solea group, inside the Palos of 12 times; that is to say, we will treat the Soleá, the Bulerías of Jerez and the Alegrías of Cadiz, with a small incursion in the Alegrías.
