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...

Ronald Karle - Meditation Five

Autor el día

  My review: 

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

    This is a piece in three sections. In the second section, the theme is played in "double notes" and the third is a restatement of the first. The repetition of the last bars of the second section at the end of the same is striking, like a small coda before returning to the restatement of the theme. Throughout the piece, the bass (left hand of the piano) is an arpeggiated chord accompaniment.

    It should be noted that Karle claims that his Meditations are pieces to "play at home" in order to relax and meditate.
