This is my first try with that webcam. However, there seems to be a sound/image synch problem towards the end of the clip. I am working on it.
'Romance' as a term in music (Spanish = romance/romanza, Italian = romanza, German = Romanze, French = romance, Russian = романс) has a long history. Beginning as narrative ballads in Spain, it came to be used by the 18th century for simple lyrical pieces not only for voice, but also for instruments alone - as in this example, which seems to originate in Spain. At least that's where and how I heard of it on one of my many journeys there about 40 years ago. And here they still are: vino tinto, paella valenciana, mucheres bonitas, la playa, felizidad, ... - whenever I here or play it. If you can imagine & enjoy your vote will be most appreciated ;-)
