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...

Stephan Beneking - Fleurs de la Nuit - I. Fleur de la Nuit

Autor el día

 

My review:

    Beneking is often inspired by classical composers (such as Beethoven, Chopin or Satie) to compose many of his works.

    This Fleur de la Nuit is in G minor. With a certain minimalist air, Beneking uses a constant relaxed rhythm, which will be maintained throughout the entire piece, consisting of a bass hit on the downbeat of each measure and the chord complementing said bass on the downbeats, while the right hand plays a slow melody, which invites us to reflection and introspection.

    About the composer:

    Stephan Beneking, one of the most prolific of New Classical Piano composer, is based in Berlin, Germany.
