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 - Предчувствие весны / Irina Stepanova-Borovskaya - Premonition of Spring

  My review:

     Premonition of Spring by Irina Stepanova-Borovskaya, is a beautiful ragtime piece with a three-part form and several tempo changes that make it truly interesting.

The main theme in A minor begins with a characteristic bass line, moving from the tonic to the dominant, with the melody in the right hand.

The second section feels like a development, starting with a lively tempo, where the accompaniment consists of slashed chords under a melody in the right hand. A brief transition to a less lively tempo leads us to a completely rhythmic section, in which the right hand plays syncopated chords.
At the end of this section, which is entirely modulating, a fermata brings us back to the main theme in a third section that serves as a recapitulation, albeit magnified and triumphant, ending with a coda in A major.
