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 Nine

 My review: 

    Meditation Nine is a piece with a moderate tempo, in which the composer mixes some of the resources used in previous meditations.

The form of variations stands out, since the theme, each time it is repeated, appears slightly different.

We can identify a central section in which there are two repetitions of the theme and which is repeated completely.

The left-hand accompaniment is striking, which is made up of arpeggios with a rhythmic design that is maintained throughout the entire piece.

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