Donna Mitchell - Consolation No. 2

Autor el día
  My personal review:      We had already discussed what a Consolation is in music in a previous article , as well as the possible sources of inspiration for Franz Liszt, the first composer to use the name Consolation for one of his pieces.      Donna Mitchell's Consolation No. 2 creates a calm, poetic, meditative atmosphere.      It is a piece in two sections, each of which is divided into three subsections, plus an introduction and a coda; its slow and leisurely tempo, as well as the constant accompaniment of arpeggios, are the main characteristic of this piece.      It is worth noting that the second section, although it feels like a restatement, has certain variations (especially in the second subsection), which create some interest for the listener, which is further enlivened by the surprising coda.      Mitchell's social links:      YouTube (Channel 1)      YouTube (Chann...

Antoine Bernollin - Improvisation N° 6.

Autor el día
    My personal opinion:
    As its name indicates, the piece is an improvisation of an improvised melody that Bernollin builds from a continuously repeating bass in his left hand.
    As we can find in other works for piano by the same composer, this bass consists of the fundamental and fifth notes of different chords that are linked without following a traditional harmonic scheme.
    During most of the piece, said bass is played with its two notes in an arpeggiated way, although, almost at the end, in what we could consider a kind of restatement (since it repeats, by way of memory, the melody with the one that started the piece), the notes are played simultaneously, which produces a contrast with the rest of the work, with a passage that releases all the tension that has been accumulating.
    From this passage, a coda begins that leads us to end in an E flat major chord.
    About the composer:
