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...

Donna Mitchell - Tango por la Milonga

Autor el día

 My personal review:

  Tango por la Milonga, by Donna Mitchell, is a three-section piece, with the melody in the right hand, while the characteristic syncopated rhythmic accompaniment is in the left.
With a moderate tempo, it can be divided into three sections.
A first section, divided into two subsections, presents the main theme.
The second section, far from being a contrast, feels like a development of the first, considering that it is considerably longer in comparison. Although it is also divided into two subsections, it is "repeated" with some variation, as the second subsection, when repeated, shifts the texture from melody to chords.
The third section is a restatement of the first, leading us to a coda that begins with a syncopated chord pattern, followed by a chromatic scale in contrary motion in both hands and the final cadence.
