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 Seven

Autor el día

 My review: 

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

    On this occasion, Karle uses variation as his main resource, since, as he repeats the theme, he varies it slightly. He also makes use of symmetry, but not as he has done in previous variations, since, in this case, it is not an exact symmetry. Another resource he uses is double notes, although, in this case, he uses them in the first beat of each bar and only in one of the variations, which, by the way, is the only one that is repeated.

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