One thing I really respect about Kapustin is that he was a huge advocate of his own work. His absolute success at that is one of the reasons his music has survived.
@@ninjaassassin27 trevorguy is correct, they are all studio recordings. Kapustin said in an interview in 2000: "I don’t like to play on stage, but I do like to record". He also said in the same interview; "But to be famous isn’t important. I don’t want to become famous." Despite that, to an extent you are right that he did advocate for his own work; "I make improvisations better than Bruckner!" But to say that in his lifetime he has 'absolute success' is absolutely not true. He was unknown in Russia his whole life; "Even if he is only now becoming known over here, does the music have something of a reputation in Russia? Kapustin shakes his head: ‘Nobody knows it."
Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus. Romans 6:23 John 3:16❤❤😊❤

A rough structure (with time stamp on tempo changes) of the first movement. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I. Allegro molto -- in sonata allegro form Exposition 00:00 (Alla breve.

0:53 is already the second theme, actually the second theme group. I would say: 0:05 *Theme Group 1*, Theme 1 0:23 Theme 2 0:37 Transition 0:53 *Theme Group 2*, Theme 1 1:07 Theme 2 1:25 Theme 3 1:46 Cadence Theme
I agree with another commenter here; what you're calling "Episode" (00:53) I would call the second subject, and what you're calling "Second Subject" (01:25) I would call some kind of end of exposition / cadence / outro theme.
0:53 is theme 2 because it starts in B (ish) in the exposition and starts in E in the recap. This is textbook sonata form modulation. Kapustin is a pure classical music composer and follows the established practices very strictly despite the jazzy harmonies.

Whenever I hear these I wish the accents were punchier. Could be slowed down *barely* to make those come out. A lot of those are what make the idiom, not just the harmony.

He was? Where did you get that information from?
@@Nooticus half of all the kapustin recordings on youtube are from him playing his pieces in live concert. Including this one.
@@ninjaassassin27 Are you sure that these are live in concert and not studio recordings?
@@trevorguy63 I haven't actually found a studio recording of him yet. There is the narrow chance I could be wrong but I'm skeptical

I used to not pay it much mind but now movement 2 is one of my favorite kapustin pieces. Especially at 10:59 so cool
11:39 who guys love with that?
I do! Really wish that part was a little longer
Yeah it's great
6:19 that transition to one of the themes is pretty epic ngl

All-time favourite piece of composition from Maestro Kapustin! Really appreciate your upload! :)
I love your videos! Nothing better to wish for. Where do you get the scores from, if I may ask?
4:00 prelude 22 spotted
sounds kind of like the toccatina from concert etudes op 40
Can someone explain why the harmonic texture of 5:19 works so well?
Kapustin Magic.
added many of 2 and 6th notes from major chord. and put on some approch(leading tone-like) note stuffs there.
erroll garner mode
The right hand chords are added with 2/6 extensions so it's very lush and it's in closed position. Left hand has a gallop bass.
@@nikol4y.ltotally
The last movement is written for pianists with 8 fingers on each hand.
I sight read through it yesterday, it's pretty difficult. And that's an understatement.
I believe Kapustins 'glissando' Etude is probably unplayable.@@SCRIABINIST
@@789armstrongkapustin played it
Genio

Anime
This part sounds so fucking gooodd
4:35 The Simpsons main theme
Indeed? Interesting.
Who is the performer?
Nikolai Kapustin
the man himself
Attaca 18:15
Will a computer ever be able to create something like this?
AI Music is notoriously shit now but given the progress of the field at large I'd give it 10 years at most.
@@nikol4y.l As a side note, ChatGPT helped me with some fingering for a Chopin Sonata yesterday...
