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...

Marianna Korol-Shekhmester - Farewell

Autor el día

   My review:

     Marianna Korol-Shekhmester's Farewell is composed in three sections, with an accompanied melody texture and no time signature, but with character.
The first section presents the main theme, with the melody in the right hand and an arpeggio accompaniment in the left hand, although there are very small touches of counterpoint that imitate the last notes of each phrase in the right hand.
The second section, as expressive and full of drama as the first, contrasts only in the musical theme that is introduced, since the character and mood of the piece is maintained.
The third section is a restatement of the first, which also acts as a coda.
The entire work is in D minor.
