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...

Andrea Vezzoli - Mazurka Seconda (Quatre Mazurke). World Premiere.

Autor el día

   My personal opinion:

    The Mazurka is a dance of Polish origin, in 3/4 time, with an accent on the second beat. Although its origin dates back to the 18th century, it spread throughout Europe and was highly appreciated in France in the 19th century and is still a favorite piece for many composers today.
    On this occasion, Andrea Vezzoli has chosen a three sections form for this Mazurka, that is, a section A, which is repeated, followed by a section B, also repeated, to conclude with section A.

    Andrea Vezzoli's Biography :
    Andrea Vezzoli, at the age of 12 began studying piano with Mara Buzzoni for more than two years, after which she studied clarinet at Corte Franca (BS) where she is still principal clarinetist under the direction of Hercules and Giampietro Lanfranchini Fanchini.
    His first compositions, of various styles, such as folk or jazz, are inspired by the landscapes of Franciacorta.
    In 2005, he began a detailed study of composition with the composer and pianist Andrea Rosa at the Academia de Pasini Corte Franca (BS).
    His versatile style, with references to Stravinsky's early music, descriptiveness and interest rates are the keys to Andrea Vezzoli's popular compositions.
