Donna Mitchell - Consolation No. 2

  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...

Рамела Балоян - Мамин вальс - Ramela Baloyan - Mum's Waltz

  My review:

     Mum's Waltz is a moving waltz in three sections, the first and third being the same, contrasting with the second.
    The two outer sections, in the key of D minor and with a moderate tempo, immerse us in an introspective, meditative, and, I would say, nostalgic atmosphere.
    However, the second section, in D major and somewhat faster in tempo, suggests a brighter and more joyful atmosphere.
