    I am so incredibly dissappointed that this majestic composer remains unknown evem 4 years after his death. More so, no street in Moscow(where he lived the majority of his life, he was loyal to his country and has not left it even though his son lives in California) has been named after His name.
    But I really hope, we, people who listen to his works day by day, will remember him till the end of our time. ❤

    Спасаюсь вашей музыкой, вчера слушала 2 часа. Такая радость на душе, как уже давно не было и плакать хочется! Как свежий морской воздух, как утро, как настоящая жизнь до того как эти подонки устроили нам этот псевдовирусный ад. Спасибо вам, душа Николай Григорьевич! 2020.

    Many contemporary composers write music that seems needlessly difficult to play without being interesting. I thought this might be the same of Kapustin, as I was learning the piano part of his "Nearly Waltz" for cello and piano.
    But then when you hear NK play, you realize that this guy has the chops to play everything he writes - and REALLY well. And the music is in the jazz idiom, but by being through-composed it is more interesting than what 99% of jazz musicians can improvise. So there's nothing for any other pianist to grouse about.

    Just fantastic! These are another great go-to work and pianistic introduction to Kapustin beside the Sonatine and the etudes. I'm learning No. 9 right now and having a blast, very rewarding at 3 pages. I underestimated the Bagatelles before, so it's great re-discovering them now as a Kapustin addict.

      It's nice seeing you around all these Kapustin videos commenting exactly what I'd agree with. Kapustin is just the greatest modern jazz-style musician I've ever come across.

    • @stitchyduck
      @stitchyduck 7 років тому +1

      By the way, which are your all-time favorite Kapustin pieces?
      Mine would be his Op. 41 Variations, Burlesque for Piano and Cello, and Concert Etude No. 7.

    • @SimonPiano42
      @SimonPiano42 7 років тому +4

      Haha, i'm flattered. I've just listened to and played a whole lot of Kapustin, while unfortunately most people have never heard of him.
      When i showed my previous teacher the Suite in the Old Style and she didn't like it too much and said she prefered Gershwin over Kapustin, i was heartbroken, haha. I'm glad my current teacher likes Kapustin, he finds him quite classical.
      I agree that Kapustin is the greatest Jazz composer, in comparison Gershwin and the Jazz attempts of Shostakovich, Ravel, Martinu etc. are simplistic. Gershwin is really neat, but he can't compare to Kapustin, it's like comparing Salieri to Mozart.
      My favourite Kapustin pieces are his Preludes Op. 53, his Concerto for two pianos and two percussionists, and his 8 Etudes, maybe the Pastorale and Toccatina in particular. Oh, and the Impromptu Op. 66/2, allegro meccanicamente. I do love the groove of the Burlesque, but i'm not sure it's the most serious piece.
      I'm actually torn on his Variations Op. 41, i love variations, but i think here Kapustin is not always at his most riveting, exciting, fascinating. It feels almost too classical and controlled sometimes. And it's quite long. And this unfortunately is almost the only piece great (young) pianists play, at least in competitions. But if that's how they go about playing Kapustin, i'll take it ;)

      I must say that Kapustin's suite in the old style is one of my least favorite of all the works I heard by him. It doesn't have the same jazzy feel as his other works imo

    • @SimonPiano42
      @SimonPiano42 7 років тому +1

      Yeah, it's a little hard to get into, i think you have to play it yourself to get it. But when i played it, i loved it, all movements.

      Terence Pereira In a Classical sense, yeah I agree . But in a Jazz context, nah... jazz is about different personalities & styles, not comparing who’s the best. But I agree.

    • @tensorprodukt
      @tensorprodukt 7 років тому +6

      I do not think so. This is not improvised but composed, so a comparison is not possible here. And although his rhythms are quite interesting, and his motives quite ingenious, his Harmonics are quite primitive compared to what a jazz pianist is able to improvise live.

    • @pepperwilliams4428
      @pepperwilliams4428 7 років тому +10

      First of all, I love the compositions and playing of Kapustin. But comparing him to Art Tatum and what he does doesn't compare. Tatum could play at blinding speeds and would not copy himself at all. Great improviser! Making stuff up on the spot. Kapustin writes everything down (which is genius in itself), but he doesn't improvise (he said so himself). He also said that he was not a jazz musician. These two are two quite different beings. Both brought much to the table as far as a deep legacy and wealth for the world to hear. Likewise with Oscar Peterson. Anyway, I love all three of them! You should too.

      Do you have any idea what you're talking about and how harmony works? Please point out some of the main harmonic features of any one of the bagatelles.
