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...

Ivanov Basso - Pequena Peça

     My personal opinion:

    Ivanov Basso's Pequena Peça  (Little Piece) is a piano piece in three sections and a coda.

    The first section, which is repeated with minimal variations (adding some grace notes and ornaments), is similar to the third section, which is a restatement of the theme.
    It is characterized by a melody accompanied by flat chords, which mark a constant rhythm, at a lively tempo.
    The second section, or middle section, is totally contrasting, both in character and texture.
    A flourish brings us back to the main theme, which, on this occasion, is not repeated and leads to a coda, with a slower tempo and a more leisurely character than the rest of the piece.
