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...

Константин Кириченко / Kostiantin Kirichenko - Токката из сюиты 'Осенние грёзы' / Toccata from the Suite "Autumn Daydream"

 My review:

    Toccata (from the suite "Autumn Daydreams"). This fourth and final piece of the suite is considerably more virtuosic than the others, as its name suggests.

For the Toccata, the composer has chosen a rondo-sonata form (A-B-A-C-B-A), with a lively tempo and a steady rhythm. The double ostinato (one in the right hand and the other in the left) that appears in the main theme of section A is particularly striking. Also noteworthy is the sudden shift from binary to ternary subdivision in section C, which lends the piece a sense of surprise and variety.
