Donna Mitchell - Consolation No. 2

Алевтина Нюкало - Етюд - Інвенція

 My review:

    Етюд - Інвенція (Etude - Invention), by the Ukrainian composer Алевтина Нюкало (Alevtina Noukalo), is a short piano piece that combines melodic imitations, in the style of a two-part invention with the agility and difficulty of a study of piano technique.
Regarding its structure, we can divide it into a classic form of three sections: an exposition of the main theme, a development on the motifs of said theme and a reexposition with small variations with respect to the exposition.
