Donna Mitchell - Consolation No. 2

  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...

Henk Vogel - Nocturne

 My review:

    "Nocturne" is a piece composed by Henk Vogel to say goodbye to Utrecht, the city where he has lived for a while and to which he promises to return.

    The piece is divided, basically speaking, into three sections, an exposition, where he presents the musical theme. a development, of considerable dimensions, in comparison to the exhibition (and that we could subdivide into small sections), composed from different musical motifs of the material presented in the exhibition and a re-exhibition, whose main difference with the exposition is the harmonization.
