Splendide, un jeu à la Oscar Peterson, jubilatoire!

Kapustin's music is so exciting! I am working on Op 40 # 6 for it's happy vibe, beautiful structure, but man, killer tempo. This is next. Will I live long enough?! Anyone else working on them? These recordings and the few videos of Mr. Nikolai show that **IT"S POSSIBLE** to play them with power and speed.

[inadaze2]

I'm SO HAPPY to have discovered these etudes. Omigod, they are brilliant compositions. Now I have to live enough years to be able to play some of them.

He's the first major piano player, master-composer to write out jazz pieces that use rhythm, form and orchestration raised to the level of Liszt, Rachmaninov or Chopin!

He really brightens my days!

@radiokid2

You're right



[elrondsch]

@radiokid2 eehhh? what happened to Chick Korea? or Billy Evans? ooor Gershwin?

[demosj]

I think he alludes to earlier etudes in the set. I heard a little of the Reverie in there.

[Orpehus458]

@demosj I agree. The opening of this sounds very much like the first etude to me.

[Humanitish]

and now, let's all hear how kapustin should sound!every single line talks.

[katchum]

Wow, I like the ending accents in the last 20 seconds. It's something I haven't heard before in other recordings.

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

I love his compositions. They are so refreshing and innovative. Not to mention VERY difficult!!!!
