3. Deciding on the content

All our improviser now has to do is to complete the verse so that it makes sense and corresponds to the subject given and sing it ...

Here is the result:

Manex gaztea, lerden ederra, eskuan mizpir makila
Zuberoako mendi mendian dabil kasko goren bila...
Leize zilorat lerratu eta, gelditu da seko hila !
Horra zergatik, pena dolorez, mintzatu zaigun ezkila...

John, a young, slender and handsome man, with a medlar stick in his hand
Was walking in the mountains in Soule, searching for the highest summits
When he slipped and fell into an abyss, he died on the spot
That is why the bell rings out with sorrow and pain

Le bertsulari Sustrai Colina - Sustrai Colina bertsularia Whilst the audience attaches a great deal of importance to the form, it also expects the improviser to develop the subject and create surprise.

The more imaginative the improviser is and the more vivid his or her imagination, the better the content of the verse. During improvisation bertsularis use the techniques of rhetoric characterised in this case by the speed at which they are used. They also use the rules of prosody with a distinctive feature: the last phrase of the verse is the basis for constructing the entire verse.

It is obviously in a real situation of improvisation that the complexity and the admirable nature of a bertsulari’s performance can really be appreciated.

To illustrate the above, you can consult and listen to an extract from a verse composed by Xabier Amuriza during the General Improvisers’ Championship in 1980.
