[ueblondon]

fantastic

[largolegato]

I prefer the composer`s interpretation though.

[dluo117]

How?!

[forgottenbooks]

Lovely music!

[Tonythemusicman136]

It's like transcribing Oscar Peterson's solos :P

[DevinJMorrison]

Ok I'm gonna comment this.....just let me pick my brain up from the floor.

[musicvalentine99]

I like Kapustin. I like jazz. JAZZ FOREVER!!!!!

[jasonextreme]

[elnegrosombra1]

Amazing!

[Evil5ymphony]

jazzistic! :D

[michaelnyman1]

It remids me to Keith Jarrett.

[Neongrapes]

Wow that ending-AWESOME!

[mrAdrian01215]

the absolute best ending!

[LIGHTRONIX]

I just got done listening to Piano Playa Hata by Wagon Christ. They go together well surprisingly.

[BrokenPiecesOfHeart]

Wow...I just love this...

[huzzzzzzahh]

Alright who were the three idiots who missed the right button and gave this a thumbs down?

[youkali22]

Thank you, Joel Holmes, for introducing us to this wonder!!

[CBasie2856]

Kapustin is better than Oscar

[snafu313]

Love Kapustin's music..Like Hamelin's playing Kapustins music, technically flawless, brilliantly clear, and "gets" the syncopated rhythm of the music. I have one pet peeve with Hamelin's playing, though. WHEN YOU PLAY A PIECE FASTER THAN THE COMPOSER DOES, THAT IS TOO DAMNED FAST. There, I've said it.

[nelson3300]

thats fuckin core

[rainerstruck]

Simply great! Unique!

[logos7logos7]

It is played too fast!

It is a mistake.

[cedricrlongreen]

wow it sounds like an amazing solo

[moneyjr1122]

the master of jazzz

[Lufttygger306]

Sounds so good...

[MrPianoLover1]

Ahhhh Nicolai Kapustin is so freaking legit!!!!! :D

[AchilleDebussy]

Sounds like a Concert Etude on the Price is Right theme.

[Goose4Lu71]

Little tinges of Bill Evans, in feel.........love this stuff

[nari0112]

I can't feel groove from this performance.

[berlinick]

Maybe you're seek?

[cammywatt95]

@nari0112 You can't feel any groove? Anyone that really has a passion for music would feel the groove in this.

[Starbirdy9999]

This is true jazz.

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

I love the ending to this... so frekin cooool

[scoggles]

The Price is Right indeed...

[shadowknight132]

Thanks for the notation. Beautiful piece of work.

[thewallx1x]

ultra jazz atmosphere, I LOVE IT!

[DonFrankos]

I find it amazingly interesting to see how extremely well nearly all of Kapustins compositions work. this 'mix' of jazz and classical music (just to give this wonderful style a name..) works just SO good. I am kind of addicted to his music, I can't stop listening. anyone here with the same problem?

[LaDoufu]

Me! I've almost finished working on another Kapustin piece and already 2 or 3 months into this one. I love listening to this over and over, and maybe if I work hard enough, I might be able play it like this one day!

[nb971127]

@DonFrankos im addicted kapustins music too

[nelsyeung]

:O Jazzy. I like it.

[Werwolf2x]

this is a great performance, but personally, i prefer Kapustin's slower pace.

[IlDottoreFaustus]

I prefer Kapustin especially because of his heavy touch!

[mikedeathrock]

I only have this music in a book not in the computer

[RSCPT]

I, without purposefully commanding myself to, said "wow" after hearing this.

WOW

[Wmuscatt]

Astonishing

[mikedeathrock]

I have the musicscore for this

[neumaru]

@mikedeathrock mind to send me one???

i'll leave u my email add..thx

[Nadaru84]

please give me a copy of sheet music. I would totally love this song. i just heard of kapustin.

[WinsomeAllegretto]

I usually don't like jazz, but this is pretty awesome.

[TheJgutierrez]

were did you get the music sheet to this tell me

[npelletier89]

I can only find the music on European websites. I'm asking for the book of these for Christmas, because they're all amazing!

[Jim341046]

Why?

[TheFrenziedPianist]

@TheJgutierrez. This is my other account but I actually had Valerie Vertruccio give it to me. (:

[foxi46]

STREPITOSO!!!

[geniesjan]

Happiness

[maydengarNSBHS]

what happened to the video

with the sheet music for the crazy

jazz sonata by kapustin ?

[rtega]

There is still a recording by Steven Osborne. It's the last part of the 2nd sonata.

[rvn10rvn17]

if no one uploads it again and i have time.. i'll do it.. exactly the same version

[rvn10rvn17]

oh.. i cancelled it.. it's too difficult to do it.. i have the score and mp3 of the exact recording..

those who wants to continue the project just tell me.. i'll send it

[neumaru]

@rvn10rvn17 hi could u pliz send me the score? i message u my mail add. thx

[TheJgutierrez]

its a FREAKING AWSOME SONG

[escudo77]

Wow, is this a study in awesome Jazz?

[coaster1000]

This is so great!

I really wanna play Kapustin's 15th Piano Sonata. I can't find the sheet music on the internet :(

Does anyone know where to get it?

[TheFrenziedPianist]

MuST.

[coasterman16]

You have to buy it. Kapustin's music is not in the public domain.

[84Fish48Fish]

What style of music is this?

[mikejr41387]

wow this is really beautiful! finally some decent modern piano music

[laurion69]

@mikejr41387

Very appropriate comment. There exist modern composers who compose in a comprehensible way.

[LetTheMusicFlow1]

@mikejr41387 I hope that's not to say other modern works aren't upto this caliber.

[yzhu81]

I kind of do think lis is a little jazzy but Im not saying its bad

[joernbroeker]

i have the entire score of all etudes

[gtyler7292]

i wish i could get the score for just this piece. the entire set of etudes costs more than $60 o.O

[BEY0NDWARD]

nice human music...

[talonboy5432]

Doesn't this sound a bit jazzy?

[xiphoid13]

please...

[mikejr41387]

hey where did you get the sheet music for this? I looked online but couldn't find hardly anything

[SwordlessSlayerIzPro]

MuST

[kwtrmln]

@xiphoid13 kapustin was a jazz pianist for quite a long time

[kwtrmln]

@xiphoid13 kupustin was a jazz pianist. his classical charts definitely incorporated jazz elements .

[xodn3300]

@kwtrmln Kapustin, according to himself, *is*(he's still alive i think?) not a jazz pianist. For one, he can't improvise, he only composes

[kwtrmln]

@xodn3300 oops my bad. well, if some one plays piano with a jazz band, wouldn't that kinda make him a jazz pianist? he definitely has some experience playing jazz. and i wouldnt say he can't improv.

youtube: = kUYiD7VGBXY

[Azash123]

@xiphoid13 so does it or not?

[cafity]

@Azash123 Duh.... ;D Kapustin is a jazz pianist himself :)

[LetTheMusicFlow1]

@talonboy5432 LOL!

[Tomahawk00984]

@talonboy5432 no where close... considered more 20th century classic rather than jazz.

[Tomahawk00984]

@talonboy5432 oh and for the record. even if it's considered an etude (term from baroque or classical era) Kapustin is still alive today...

[IAMLISZT]

@talonboy5432 lolololololooloololololololol

[MrRosfordKjaerulff]

@talonboy5432 Of course it does. Kapustin is know for writing jazz music arranged in formal classical structure :)

[300musicmaster]

@talonboy5432 it sounds jazzy because of the clever use of a variety of inverted turschian (sp) 7th and 9th chords as well as an added spice of chromatisim... ahh what ap music theory does to people... :P

[NotProNotNub]

@300musicmaster You forgotten about the rhythmic aspect, you just talked about the harmony >.>

[300musicmaster]

@NotProNotNub well i would but AP music theory (in HS it's like a music theory basics college class) but it's so freakin basic that it really dosent touch upon rhythm, (like all we do is correctly write chorales..... it's really boring) anywho, i absolutely love the syncopated rhythm though :D

[cldbsy]

@talonboy5432

you must be a musical genius :O

[AA19752012]

@talonboy5432

Yeah I just read on wikipedia that he had reputation built as a jazz pianist in the 1950's

[Mr98giuliano]

@talonboy5432 Kapustin was a jazz man......didn't you now?

[Alexmg123]

@Mr98giuliano was? He's still alive. And he is definitely not a jazz guy, that's what he said.

"I was never a jazz musician. I never tried to be a real jazz pianist, but I had to do it because of the composing. I’m not interested in improvisation – and what is a jazz musician without improvisation? All my improvisation is written, of course, and they became much better; it improved them." - N. Kapustin

[Mr98giuliano]

@Alexmg123 mmm....that's right, but it sounds jazzy, like you said. All Kapustin's pieces sound jazzy, so I believe that Kapustin is not really a jazz man, but certainly he was influenced by jazz....right?

[Steinwaytoday]

@Mr98giuliano Actually, I think Kapustin started out as a jazz pianist and then got instructed in classical piano... I'm really not sure though, I just vaguely remember seeing that somewhere.

[ansonyeung825]

@talonboy5432 of course!

[yuehchopin]

sauber

[mdeonx16]

Is it okay if I believe that Hamelin is the greatest pianist who ever lived (or who is currently living)?

[pookiehohn]

He's god.

[CocoaRadix]

When I'm hearing Hamelin play a piece I've never heard before, I'm almost always floored by his absolutely perfect technique and clarity. But I find that once I become very familiar with a work, I generally prefer listening to other pianists' playing. Not that Hamelin isn't an absolutely remarkable pianist -- when it comes to works that aren't often played, he more than does it for me!

[rvn10rvn17]

everytime i wanna learn smtg new, i always listen to how virtuoso plays it as guide and hamelin is always on top of my priority.. he's great because he shows how the piece is supposed to be played, correctly..

i agree with saying that sometimes his playing gets too perfect, too technical but maybe that's how it'd sound..

He'd god

[demosj]

@CocoaRadix Sure, but for this specific piece though there isn't any better recording than Hamelin's.

[tomekkobialka]

No question, HE DA BEST!!!

[moneyjr1122]

very jazz city blue liek love it

[HandyTheXxxX]

This piece is one I keep reviewing, I cannot believe how great a jazz piece it is!

Hamelin brings out the best.

[orrinvanzelf]

Thanks world, for such geniuses!

[kemorex]

Marc-Andre Hamelin is amazing, isn't he.

He is both extremely skilled, and he likes playing pieces from relatively unknown composers throughout history.

I recommend his Villa-Lobos work.
