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...

Рамела Балоян - Гавот - Ramela Baloyan - Gavotte

  My review:

     The gavotte is a French folk dance named after the village of Gavot.
Initially a circle dance, it became a court dance in the late 16th century, becoming popular during the reign of King Louis XIV when the famous composer Jean Baptiste Lully became the royal court composer.
Although the gavotte has evolved somewhat throughout history, it is essentially a dance with a moderate character and in 2/2 or 4/4 time.
It generally begins anacrustically.
It usually has a bipartite form, that is, two sections with their repetitions.
In the case of the gavotte we are discussing today, it has a thetic beginning and could be divided into three sections, since the last feels more like a restatement of the first than a repetition of the second.
