Kapustin Etude 7 - Intermezzo (Kapustin plays Kapustin)

[TheDecadant]

insane thirds. Almost makes thirds practice seem worth while :)

[sirshitsalot007]

damn so jazzy!

[chutdigadut]

those thirds are just bullshit

[Joeyboiification]

@chutdigadut U mad son?

[Starbirdy9999]

Very nostalgic!

[winxcat]

The first few seconds make me think of when you play a tape, then it messes up, and continues. Kapustin is SO creative. Gotta love his music ;]

[mumps59]

It just doesn't get better than this.

[kingcade]

That whole last section is unmistakable Waller. I'm happy to see the homage. Waller always put classical motifs into his jazz, so who better to show this kind of respect than Kapustin, the classical pianist that plays jazz.

[chimayai]

Does anyone know who publishes his preludes? I have been looking for a modern set that changed things up in a quasi-jazz way, and I think I have found the set I want to perform next.

[mumps59]

@chimayai I got mine from Zen-On in Japan, ISBN 9784111611713, but from what I can tell it's currently out of print. Looks like MUST picked it up...google "kapustin scores" and navigate to the tutti dot co dot uk links.

[LiiChinHo]

My goodness this just sounds so good.

[amazingwave]

I'm going to play this one day.

[rfw1503]

A great piece. Nice to see so many young concert pianists playing his compositions. Have a look at young EvChow taking this on board on YouTube!

[joyfulnoise63]

Very Gershwinesque!

[eribani]

all this time i thought kapustin must've had the biggest hands ever to be able to play all his pieces so comfortable, and now i hear him roll those 10ths in the left hand. i have lost all hope in ever playing these etudes.

[NathanPhungMusic]

The entire second half from 1:45 on is just so juicy...

[naffanharrison]

dont like the look of all those accidentals :P

[AllOutOfGum]

At first i was like "Yah, I can play this! This'll probably make a good audition piece.." then the thirds came in x_x

[qweuio]

@AllOutOfGum Not that hard as it seems. As Kapustin plays here, you can do it as non-legato. Personally I find this a lot easier to play than Chopin's Op. 25-6.

Great!!

Thank you.

Todo un maestro!

Kapustin is incredible!! I can't believe I just now discovered him after studying piano for over 10 years! Does anyone know where I can find his sheet music?

[Lstyle1703]

classicscore.hut2.ru

(Idk if this website is legal... It's just too good to be true, but I actually printed out the whole thing...)

" Did u no dat in heaven u canever get tired of thiz song? "

[Dachion]

" I cried & went to heaven with the immortals, glissening elegant lights of the kaledioscopic palaces in the eternities of triumphant bliss......."

[Heilageldur]

2:54 - 3:07

I bet mister Kapustin likes Fats Waller a lot.

[NathanPhungMusic]

@Heilageldur I absolutely love his suggestion of stride piano throughout the whole piece. His composition style draws from so many rhythms from different types of jazz...

[Dachion]

" It's A sublime piece, but i cannot appreciate it without my pc auditorium reverb & rock E.Q. "

[Dachion]

" A Lot of phenomental Kolors Of Exstasy......."

[youkali22]

where has this man been all my musical life - how come i never heard of him until the wonderful jazz pianist Joel Holmes introduced me?

[moneyjr1122]

very fucking hard too play

[alexresan]

I am looking for the song sheet. How can I get it?

[radiokid2]

@alexresan

Google Boosey & Hawkes sheet music...they can import it...I just spent $300 on his books,,,cheap for what you get!

[bachpartita6]

Great composer of today. And also a PHENOMENAL pianist. This is the best performance of Intermezzo.

[joefrompic]

@bachpartita6

It's the best performance, since it's the composer himself performing!

[Starbirdy9999]

A True Intermezzo.

[arturiviris]

que buen compositor e intérprete

[EliotKrupa]

This sound uncannily like Oscar Peterson in some parts. very cool

[mapodoufu1]

@EliotKrupa Kapustin in an interview actually mentioned Oscar Peterson as a major influence in his works!

[demosj]

@EliotKrupa Well spotted, I hear the similarities too.

[pianoaddict06]

[JayIvory87]

[cosmajohn]
