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 Eight

Autor el día

 My review: 

    Meditation Eight is a piece with a slightly faster tempo than the previous meditations, although with the texture of accompanied melody that characterizes them.

    Its form is binary, that is, in two sections. The first section is characterized by a note in the bass, played in the left hand, and in the right, some chords, mostly arpeggiated.

    The second section, more dynamic, contrasts completely with the first, since it consists of a melody with an arpeggio accompaniment. This second section, in the first part of the piece, appears repeated, something that does not happen in the second part, which is like a re-exposition (or repetition) of the first.

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