Nice anology lol. All too true! (I guess if anything I'm the 2nd)

Imagining a hotel lounge/bar as I listen... :-D
I'd say that Kapustin is for jazz pianists who can read music. Or for classical pianists who wish they could play jazz.

@nearenough3 Trolls. Why do they never cease to bore me?
"Sorabji is a poseur."
By what criteria?
"Alkan didn't write good melodies."
Could you tell us what they are? And perhaps also tell us why Liszt, Chopin and Debussy (among others) admired him?
"Busoni is soggy."
Whereas you are dry?

Excellent playing., but your hands look green

@YGYGYGYGYGYGApril10 ye id even say jazz is harder than jazz in some ways because you constantly have to be thinking so fast about what everybody else is doing and for improvising
-
Excellent playing!
-
you seem to have prejudice against atonality. Plus this piece is not atonal. It just has rich chromaticism. And this piece of music is not random at all. Just study the sheet music or listen more carefully before you judge.

There is a strong possibility you may be tone deaf.

The 'minimum inspiration' you mention includes Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Brahms, Schumann, Liszt, Chopin, Rachmaninov, Medtner and numerous other composers. I love Kapustin too, and especially Steven Osborne's recording too (it's on the Hyperion label by the way), but I couldn't discount Alkan, Busoni and Sorabji as having minimum inspiration!
-
Can I ask what you don't like about the three composers you mention here?
Awesome! You're a great jazz player. Do you perform? I want to start playing jazz since my classical sux. Also, this piano has a very rich sound. Is it a 9' concert grand? What brand? It sounds amazing.
Sorry for so many questions.
=O/
lol
Thank you.

Thank you very much for the compliments :-) Sadly I cannot make you big hope for Jazz being easier than classics. I can't play Jazz except from written music. Kapustin is great music, but it's very difficult too. Some of the Preludes op.53 are a bit easier.

A version very different of Kapustin's, but this tempo is very nice !! Thanks !

I never heard Kapustin's own recording, but the metronome markings show, he wants it to be played very fast :-) I find it very difficult to bring out all the compositorial finesse of Kapustins music, when it's played that fast. Besides that, I just cannot play that fast ;-) I'm glad, you like my version anyway. I watched your video with the 4th movement and I'm really jealous :-)

Bravo !!! You are great ! I love kapustin's works & I have sheetmusics. I have tried them, but too difficult for me...I look forward to watch your next videos.
