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...

Ирина Степанова-Боровская - Irina Stepanova-Borovskaya - Блюз. Новогодние Мечты оп. 15 - Blues. New Year's Dreams Op. 15

 My review:

     Blues. New Year's Dreams by Irina Stepanova-Borovskaya is a piano piece with a calm and nostalgic character, which envelops us in a dreamlike atmosphere.
It is structured in three sections, the first with a varied repetition, which serves as an exposition of the main theme, which will be reexposed in the third section as a coda.
The second section is a thematic development, which does not offer any contrast with the two neighbouring sections, thus producing an effect of fluidity, in which each musical idea leads us to the next in a natural way.
