(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.

  • @PSDemonwing In terms of their positioning at the end of a great opus, they are perfect in giving a supreme climax to the whole piece. Taken out of context, they might not be the "greatest", but taken in context, as I believe they should be, I believe they are. And I'm his publisher, by the way...

    Cheers

  • @kapfan Nope. I strongly disagree

  • this inspired me to get inspired.

  • And those last eight chords remain the greatest in all piano music

  • Bravo!!!!!!!!

  • @eelleezz yeah, the performance totally sucks. one wrong tone in about 1000 notes? ;-)

  • Sounds incredibly similar to his 2nd Étude (Reverie - my favourite of this set of pieces). Pretty neat!

  • Most difficult piece from the suite. Especially for the left hand. There seems no stable rhythmic pattern, which makes it quite hard to remember, and it should be played without any pedals to sound crystal clear, but not too loud....Mr. Kapustin played it really well at that.

  • juanchiviris hello were you get this sheet please teel me or send me if you can... thank you...
