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...

Iрина Степанова-Боровская - Irina Stepanova-Borovskaya / Маленькая сюита в старинном стиле - A Little Suite in Ancient Style

  My review:

     A Little Suite in Ancient Style by Irina Stepanova-Borovskaya, is a suite in five movements: Aria 1, Polonaise, Aria 2, Minuet, and Bagpipe. The first three are in the key of C minor, and the last two are in C major.
The five pieces have a similar structure, in three sections: the first (exposition) and third (reexposition) are in the main keys, while the second is in a neighboring key (sometimes the relative or corresponding to the dominant).
The different movements are organized according to a traditional suite, alternating between slower and livelier movements, ending with the liveliest (in this case, the bagpipe).
The change in key and style in the last two movements is particularly striking, as is the correlation between the second section of the minuet and the rhythmic motif of the bagpipe's left hand, as no similar correlation is observed in the rest of the suite.
