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...

Stephan Beneking - Seven Reveries for Charlotta. Number 1 in C minor.

Autor el día

    My personal opinion: 

    Beneking is often inspired by classical composers (such as Beethoven, Chopin or Satie) to compose many of his works.

    It is very striking that in his musical production there is a large number of nocturnes and, although in this case it is a reverie, the slow movement, as well as the bass (left hand) consisting of a binary rhythm, with a note in the first beat and a chord in the second of each bar, suggests a nocturne.

    As in most of his works, there is no indication of tempo or dynamics, which is left to the free will and good taste of the performer.

    About the composer:

    Stephan Beneking, one of the most prolific of New Classical Piano composer, is based in Berlin, Germany.
