  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 2 in A major.

Autor el día

 

    My review:

    This second Reverie contrasts with the first both in tonality, A major, and in character, more lively and cheerful.

With an accompanied melody texture, the left hand is in charge of making an unfolded arpeggio, while the right plays the melody, as well as a pedal note that appears at various times in the piece, which could well remind us of Chopin's famous Raindrop Prelude.

    About the composer:

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