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...

Виталий Неугасимов - Осенний вальс. Vitalij Neugasimov - Autumn Waltz

Autor el día

   My personal review:

  Autumn Waltz is a waltz with a slow tempo and a melancholic character, in D minor and in the form of a rondo.
The waltz begins in the piano's upper mid-range, presenting the theme with an accompaniment in which the first beat is struck by the bass and the second by the chord, leaving the third beat unpercussed in the accompaniment.
The theme is then presented again, but this time the left hand strikes all three beats and is presented in the piano's lower mid-range.
The second theme is formed from a harmonic progression that begins in F major and returns to D minor to once again present the first theme.
The third theme, in D major, appears at a slightly slower tempo than the rest of the waltz and with a percussive accompaniment on the first two beats of the measure. For a moment, it seems as if we are moving away from the melancholic atmosphere of the rest of the piece and are immersed in a deep reverie that contrasts with the main mood. We return to D minor again to present the main theme for the last time. The broken double cadence preceding the final cadence is striking.
