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...

Donna Mitchell - Waltz of Autumn

    My personal opinion:

    To celebrate the arrival of autumn, the best season of the year, according to the composer, there is nothing better than composing a waltz.
    This small piece is divided into three sections, the third being a re-exposition of the first, although with a short coda to conclude.
In the key of A minor, the first and third sections run at a calm tempo and have a nostalgic character.
    In contrast, the central section has a slightly more humorous air, without departing from the nostalgic character we have been talking about.
