Hudson Gimenez - Romance Nº 1

  My review:       Romance Nº 1   is a piece in three sections, with an accompanied melody texture and a tranquil tempo, creating an atmosphere of calm and reflection. The thematic unity and the constant accompaniment of arpeggios give the piece a sense of cohesion, with a second development section and a third recapitulation section. In fact, it is constructed from a harmonic progression (accompaniment) upon which small variations on the main theme melody are layered.       Gimenez's social links:           Facebook      YouTube      SoundCloud     Enjoy  "Romance Nº 1" ,  performed by Carlos Marín Trigo:

Ronald Karle - The Cost of Time - Etude in E minor

 My review:

     The Cost of Time is composed on a structure that is not difficult to understand: the left hand plays a melodic-harmonic structure of arpeggios that are repeated throughout the entire piece, while the right hand plays a melody characterized by being made up of long notes, which will also be repeated throughout the entire composition.

One of the main characteristics of this work is the progressive crescendo, from the initial mp (mezzopiano) in the left hand, to the final ff (fotissimo), which occurs throughout the entire piece.

Finally, another aspect that catches my attention and I would like to highlight is the absence of a "Tempo" indication, which gives the performer a certain freedom to take the one he/she likes or suits him/her best, or even the possibility of experimenting, playing it at different "Tempi" (according to his/her mood, for example). In my specific case, I have chosen a moderate tempo, taking into account what Karle's music suggests to me, not only in this one, but also in his other works.
