Thank you very much for sharing the score. It is a pity that the rental of the orchestral material is so expensive $2500 US dollars for one performance.
check out the rest of Kapustin's music! especially piano concertos no. 4 and 5, and piano sonata no. 2. also look into Gershwin if you want more of an "old jazz" sound, or Weissenberg if you want more of a "classical fusion" sound... there's a lot of good music out there
The first movement is relatively straightforward in both the solo part and the orch reduction. 2nd movement is mainly ok once you get your head around d the 8/8 subdivision and the 3rd movement is wild fun and a pig 🐖 😂 👍🏻
Wow. - well done you that must be very satisfying it’s such a fun piece and guaranteed to make you smile - good luck with the final arpeggio flourish pages 👍🏻 G

Hello! I'm piano major student! I really like his music, so I want to play his concerto. I search many time to find concerto No.2 score for Two piano, but I can't... If you know some way, can you tell me about that?
@@maestoso9165 Kapustin had a thorough classical education and studied with teachers that had personally known some of the Russian classics (Medtner, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin...), so it's not surprising at all that you can hear Romantic bits here and there. Also, Kapustin's earliest compositions were in the vein of late-19th/early-20th century Russian composers.
@@adlfm Yes I did know that he was classically trained. That is also quite clear in the structure and style of his music but I wasn’t able to see how it sounded like Rachmaninoff. Although I now have become able to hear the Rachminoff-esque arrangement and orchestration. However in the harmonic content of this piece I don’t hear it. But that might just be me
A debt, well-played to Gershwin. Even the penta I got Rhythm comes across early on... But it does have the warmth, sincerity and melodic genius as well as structural coherence. Pleasant, swank,but without substance. A far cry from Gershwin.
Wow! Look mom! A man spreading lies on the internet! Gershwin is derivative and unimaginative compared to even the most diminutive of Kasputin's works.
@@Lircking Yeah, the Dupree recording hadn't been made yet when I created this video, otherwise I would have used it. I agree that everyone should listen to that one if they have the time.
Well, it's not trash, but it's certainly not Gershwin. It's bright, appealing, good music, but not great. It is more like Mancini than Gershwin, more like "The Pink Panther" than "Concerto in F" or even "I Got Rhythm Variations". Gershwin's music is great. This is very good.
I personally love this concerto, but I think even Kapustin himself considered it a more "junior" work [I can't find the source but I feel like I definitely read this somewhere]. Kapustin's later concertos, though rarely performed, are worth checking out though - they're quite a bit different and arguably more mature works.
@@Dylonely_9274 Well, I suppose these are good questions. I compare this music to Gershwin because a good number of others have. Kapustin writes what some might term "symphonic jazz", classical music influenced by jazz, a sort of music of which Gershwin is the acknowledged past master. But Kapustin's jazz idiom is closer to Mancini than it is to Gershwin. I hope I've answered your questions. Be well, & thanks for asking!
what makes you say that? what does Gershwin do that you commenters think is lacking in kasputin? I've seen multiple comments on this and they are all similar...
Well I mean this is an early work so it would lack complexity, I don't think that makes it trash. I think Kapustin overall fails comparisons to Gershwin not because one is better or worse but because they were inspired by different eras of jazz, and came from different backgrounds of classical. They have unique sounds, and expecting one to sound like the other because they're both "the jazz classical guys" is reductive to both fields. I initially thought Gershwin sounded a little simple and boring in comparison, but later on realized that was only due to my expectations on what classical music with jazz forms "should sound like" as laid out by Kapustin.

I'm going to have this score printed out and start studying the part for piano
it's difficult but very fun to play, good luck!
I want to do this too - but it seems like a Herculean task to learn any of these movements. Are you going to learn both parts for piano?
The first movement is relatively straightforward in both the solo part and the orch reduction. 2nd movement is mainly ok once you get your head around d the 8/8 subdivision and the 3rd movement is wild fun and a pig 🐖 😂 👍🏻

I like how jazzy Kapustin was.
This feels like something Keith Emerson would write
Wow!!! Awesome!!!
What a treat!
absolute banger
What a great surprise, thank you. (Holland) 🌷🌷🌷 I have put it on Twitter.
この曲大好きなので定期的に聴いています。初めて楽譜見たんですけど、調性ない、音符そんなに詰まってないと思っても、臨時記号すごいしテンポ速いし、固まる。
あと、フレーズの前に休符が入ったり、前の小節の最後の音符からフレーズが始まっている事が多くてタイミングミスったら修正厳しそうな気がした。
音源のドミトリーマスレエフさんのRUclipsコメント欄に、ジャズだからこそミスは許されないと書いてる人いて、納得してしまった。
Amazing
Love it!
3:54 ❤❤
George Gershwin if he was awesome

thanks! more modern works should be coming soon, but I'm waiting for a strike on a Sorabji score-video to expire, just to be safe
so good
not at all what i'd imagined, but it's freaking amazing
While I still like 4 and 5 more this is also pretty fun and more relaxing to listen to
bossa nova at 11:00 ...
5:42 what is that time signature? Can someone explain?
It's 8/8 (which is like 4/4 but feeling every eighth) with the suggestion of counting it in groups of 3, 2, and 3 (ONE-two-three-FOUR-five-SIX-seven-eight)
@@Dodecatone thanks for the fast answer! I have never seen anything like that before, interesting
❤
1:31 lol this a Rach 1 reference?
I hear it! Is it the descending motif from the first mvmt?
no
this make an orchestra like a jazz band
Where do you find the music? (for download)
For sheet music, see the pinned comment. For the audio recording, this was taken from Dmitry Masleev's album "Rapid Movement"
Why he didn't add the key signature in the second movement, it is in a flat major
Is it possible for you to send this score to me?
does someone have this score please?
You can find it online to purchase, but it's out of print and expensive. I can send you a PDF if you reach out to me (contact info in the About section of my channel)
2nd movement sounds really familiar ! (From kapustin's another pieces) does anyone knows ?
Good.
Only good? This is one of the greatest things ever! :D

Sounds like late Rachmoninoff.
Hmm… how exactly?
@@maestoso9165 probably the use of those massive piano chords. I'd say the better way to put it is if Rachmaninoff majored in Jazz lol
@@itsdarksucks now that you put it like that I can see how it does sound sort of Rach-ish. In the pianism maybe more than the harmonies

You might enjoy Kapustin's later concertos. No. 5 is especially imaginative, and No. 6 veers toward free-form idioms.
In previous message the word 'not' was erased. The original was: But it does not have the warmth, sincerity and melodic genius...
Why without substance?
Wow! Look mom! A man spreading lies on the internet! Gershwin is derivative and unimaginative compared to even the most diminutive of Kasputin's works.

Guys if you listen to the Dupree recording of the 3rd movement you realize this is a terrible performance
@@Lircking Yeah, the Dupree recording hadn't been made yet when I created this video, otherwise I would have used it. I agree that everyone should listen to that one if they have the time.
Kapustin should have instituted a performance-ban like Sorabji to stop this
No, this is amazing, not Dupree
@@paulinalevina9690 how?

haha I genuinely think Gershwin is trash compared with Kapustin to be honest. The rhythmical and harmonic complexity is not even at the same level.
