[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.

[edit] Moulin Rouge!
Unless my memory is horribly failing me, the song during the credits of Moulin Rouge, "Bolero", is not in 3 and so, this article would lead me to believe, not actually a Bolero. It should thus probably either be removed or have a note added to clear up any confusion, since it's listed under "Boleros in popular culture", implying that it is a bolero. --inferno0069 22:48, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
