Hudson Gimenez - Romance Nº 1

  My review:       Romance Nº 1   is a piece in three sections, with an accompanied melody texture and a tranquil tempo, creating an atmosphere of calm and reflection. The thematic unity and the constant accompaniment of arpeggios give the piece a sense of cohesion, with a second development section and a third recapitulation section. In fact, it is constructed from a harmonic progression (accompaniment) upon which small variations on the main theme melody are layered.       Gimenez's social links:           Facebook      YouTube      SoundCloud     Enjoy  "Romance Nº 1" ,  performed by Carlos Marín Trigo:

Ronald Karle - Meditation One

 My review: 

Meditation One is a piece with a slow character and an accompanied melody texture.

    It consists of a theme that is repeated with slight variations.

    Thus, after an introduction (the rhythmically varied theme), the first presentation of the theme appears, which will be repeated at a high octave, it will be repeated again adding a second note of each chord in the right hand, it will be repeated again adding a third note of each chord and it will be repeated again exactly as the first time it was presented.

    One of the characteristics of this piece is that Karle plays a little with the ambiguity, on the one hand, offered by the 6/4 time signature, which can sometimes be measured as six quarter-note beats, sometimes as three half-notes, and on the other hand with the ambiguity that leaves us wondering whether the work is in E minor or G major, since, throughout the entire work, the harmony is felt to be in E minor, but the last three bars suggest its relative major.
