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...

 My review:

    Вальси (waltz) is a little piece for children divided into three sections. An exposition, in which the main theme is presented and repeated adding new motifs (a small chromatic scale in the left hand) and repeating each motif that constitutes the main theme; a small development, slightly slower than the previous section, with chromatic scales also in the right hand and a re-exposition, in which a new motif is added and repeated at the end of the main theme, played at the tempo primo.
The simple form, the pleasant and playful melody, and the fact that it is designed for small hands, make this waltz suitable for the delight of the youngest piano students.
