[edit] Crescendo

Is there any kind of subgenre of the bolero that requires that the music gradually go from pianissimo to fortissimo, or is that just something literature professors assume because of Ravel's piece? Del arte 15:48, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spanish article

It seems the Spanish article has some stuff this article doesn't. [1] 205.174.22.28 02:09, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Indeed, since the Spanish bolero has very little to do with the genre bolero, which is probably what the article is referring about. The Latin American genre is a rough equivalent to the kind of music Frank Sinatra would sing early in his career: soft, melancholic love songs about either love or the despair is causes. The Spanish dance would be the originator, but in Latin America it took a life of its own. I strongly reccomend that another category be added and use some kind of litmus test as to disambig both.
