Donna Mitchell - Consolation No. 2

Autor el día
  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...

Ronald Karle - The Sunset of Dreams

    My review: 

    The Sunset of Dreams is a work in two sections and in a moderate tempo.

    It begins with an introduction of several arpeggiated chords, followed by a motif in the left hand in the shape of an inverted "v", which will be repeated throughout the entire work and creates a mysterious and dreamlike atmosphere.

    The first section is characterized by a "broken melody", barely hinted at and reduced to notes played by the right hand.

    The second section, without losing the atmosphere created by the left hand, is characterized by having a more defined, more real melody. This section is also repeated.

    As a coda, a cadence with arpeggiated chords, similar to the initial one, concludes the work.
