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...

Алёна Кольцова / Aliona Koltsova - как мне быть? / Ce pot să fac?

  My review:

    "как мне быть? / Ce pot face? (What should I do?), is an emotional piece for piano in three sections and a coda, which aims to create an introspective and reflective atmosphere.
    In the key of B flat minor, the main section (first and third) is a quiet, slow melody, accompanied by arpeggios in the left hand, making a harmonic progression in which the bass descends by semitones.
    The central section, although contrasting in character (agitato), is also formed on harmonic progressions.
After the third section (a re-exposition equal to the first section), a coda, whose character and beginning is the same as the agitato section, brings us to a sudden end.
