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...

Juan Luis de Pablo Enríquez Rohen - Doce Danzas para Piano y una Oscura Fantasía - 5. To my Oldest Old Love

  My review:

   To my Oldest Old Love is the fifth of the twelve dances that make up this series of musical works.

    It is basically made up of three sections, the first at a slightly slower tempo, the second at a slightly more lively tempo and the third, a variant of the first, begins with a somewhat faster tempo, although it resumes the tempo of the first section.

    There is a repetition of the entire work, before reaching a small coda (formed only by a cadence in long notes) with which the work closes.
