(Audio from Album Kapustin plays Kapustin)
Nikolai Girshevich Kapustin (Russian: Николай Гиршевич Капустин) (born November 22, 1937 in Gorlovka, Ukraine) is a Ukrainian composer and pianist.
Kapustin studied piano with Avrelian Rubakh (pupil of Felix Blumenfeld who also taught Simon Barere and Vladimir Horowitz) and, later, Alexander Goldenweiser at the Moscow Conservatory. During the 1950s he acquired a reputation as a jazz pianist, arranger and composer. He is steeped, therefore, in both the traditions of classical virtuoso pianism and improvisational jazz.

the man is a singular talent, compositionally and pianistically, but as a composer-performer myself, this piece in particular would benefit greatly if he employed a little push and pull a la Bill Evans or McCoy Tyner. The bravura sections get blurred in with the riffing and (dont misunderstand: the man is brilliant) it doesn't get the nuance it deserves. just sayin.

Well, obviously it's deadly to rely on it anyway, but this piece would punish someone quickly for it.

Imagine trying to memorize this one. It would require some serious work. It would be deadly to rely completely on kinesthetic memory.
-
No one don't like any piece of Kapustin. Proves that he's a genius.

Somehow, this reminds me of Felix Blumenfeld's Etude Op. 3 no. 3 - which is even more interesting if one considers that Blumenfeld is Kapustin's "musical grandfather" (I read somewhere that Kapustin was a pupil/student of one of Blumenfeld's pupils/students).

wow, that's really unique! And not unique to the point where it's just a bunch of random notes, actually coherant music! Brilliant stuff, this is the way forward with modern piano music.
