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 Ten

Autor el día

 My review: 

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

    On this occasion, the composer has chosen a melody accompanied by arpeggios.

    The piece is divided into three sections, each of the first two being repeated.

    There is a clear thematic contrast between the central section and the others.

    There is also a slight contrast between the third section (re-exposition) and the first, since, in the third section, the accompaniment, made up of the same arpeggios as the first, is repeated, appearing twice in each bar (in the first section they only appeared once and the other half of the bar, the left hand remained silent).

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