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...

 My review:

     Prelude 8. Spring by Irina Stepanova-Borovskaya is a piece in three sections and a lively tempo.
    After a brief two-bar introduction with a succession of clusters, the first theme begins in C major, although, through a chromatic modulation, taking advantage of a harmonic progression, it moves to the key of D-flat major, which will be maintained throughout the first section and part of the second.
    This section (the second) consists of a harmonic progression with a melody in the left hand and a cluster accompaniment in the right. The composer uses this progression to create a new chromatic modulation to return to C major, a key that will be maintained throughout the third section, a restatement of the first.
