Donna Mitchell - Consolation No. 2

  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...

Ronald Karle - One Day Ago

  My review: 

    A beautiful piece of music in three sections, with an accompanied melody texture and a calm, meditative tempo.

    The first section begins with the exposition of the main theme, initially in the piano's upper-middle register, which lends it a certain air of delicacy. This theme is then repeated with the accompaniment in the lower-middle register, a pattern that continues until the end of the piece.

    The main contrast between the second section and the other two is that the harmonic progression is slightly different, and the section itself feels shorter.
