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...

Lorenzo Milani - Momento Secondo

Autor el día

  My review:

    Momento Secondo by Lorenzo Milani, is a piece characterized by a slow rhythm and a "cantabile" melody accompanied by chords that are rhythmically repeated.

    Actually, it is divided into three sections, although the second and third are varied repetitions of the first. With each repetition, Milani adds new musical elements.

    The composer considers this piece, his Op. 50, as a continuation and closing of the cycle begun by Momento Primo, Op. 29, for violin and piano. Both try to represent, according to the composer's own words, moments of reflection, described with a particular atmosphere.
