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...

  My review:

     Nocturne No. 1 by Irina Stepanova-Borovskaya is a piece in three sections, with a calm tempo and an accompanied melody texture.
In the first section, in C minor, after a short four-bar introduction, the melody appears in the right hand, accompanied by arpeggios in the left hand. In the first exposition of the theme, the melody is restrained compared to the reprise, where it is adorned with flourishes in triplets.
The same left-hand arpeggio pattern serves as a link to the second section, contrasting not only in key, E flat major, but also in rhythmic design and in that the melody is introduced by the left hand and imitated by the right.
The introduction at the beginning of the work leads us to the reexposition of the first section, again in C minor, although the final cadence takes us, once again, to E flat major.
