Super mario galaxy´s composer probably got inspired by this.

[kage1369]

afraid to say, this performance lacks so much deepness and understanding of the work. 5 minutes all the same dynamics, no inventive fantasy... wtf

[fcorange]

where can i find the score of this music?

[dstumpf1]

Wish someone would post the 2nd movement of this piece (#3 and #4 are already up).

Just discovered this amazing composer. What he's doing - mixing Jazz melodies and Classical forms is extremely difficult and admirable.

(cont'd) to flamingspinach:

the early opuses were benchmarks. though Kapustin has, with his voluminous output of works, remained steadfast unto this filial legacy, i am otherwise convinced to think that "lightning will only strike once in the same opus" *lol. i do believe there WAS an absolute maximum in the aesthetic threshold that encapsulates the earlier compositional gauntlet, but now the trend resides in frequent spells of creativity, local maxima, if you will (i.e, op. 66, op. 118, etc)

@flamingspinach:

HAHAHA! piano sonata 7 is one of my favorites XD. i can tell you that, for the past 3 months, it has been in my car CD player--day in, day out. however, i am in no way implying that there is an inescapable, "vapid trajectory" in which kapustin has vicariously directed his penmanship on account of the new style his latter works have undertaken, but c'mon, you'd be kidding yourself to think that a work in the precedent of op. 41 will meet it's due fruition within the next century

[flamingspinach]

@tdavis2797 I don't think there's really one "pinnacle of compositional mastery and intellectually sound writing", but there's no doubt that Kapustin is a master at what he does. Perhaps you regard what he did during his early opera to be more intellectually sound than what he did later? :P Sure, stuff like his 7th piano sonata can sound raucous at first, but they have their own beauty as well :D

@oivey15 it's not published (yet), it still only exists in manuscript form (afaik). You might try emailing 川上昌裕 and asking about it, he would know.
