Par KAPUSTIN NIKOLAI. Du jazz virtuose sous forme classique : Nikolai Kapustin (né en 1937) est un excellent pianiste de jazz, arrangeur et compositeur, dont Schott édite maintenant les sonates pour piano. Cette Sonate no12, composée en 2001, est très exigeante d'un point de vue technique. En deux mouvements, elle a été enregistrée par le compositeur lui-même et Carlo Levi Minzi. Pour les pianistes à la recherche d'oeuvres entre musique moderne et jazz, qui sonnent comme des improvisations extrêmement habiles. / Niveau : Difficile / Répertoire / Piano

Par KAPUSTIN NIKOLAI. Kapustin composed the 3 Etudes Op. 67 in 1992. The first étude, entitled 'Glissandi,' is written in a swing jazz mood. In No. 2 'Ripetizione' the difficulty lies in the complexity of the rhythm. No.3 'Grappole' contains hand clusters in quasi 'grape form'. / Niveau : 5 / Répertoire / Piano

Par KAPUSTIN NIKOLAI. Kapustins 10 Bagatellen aus dem Jahre 1991 sind kleine unbeschwerte Klavierstücke im Jazz-Kolorit mit hohem technischem Anspruch. Der Zyklus wurde komplett vom Komponisten selbst und auch von Masahiro Kawakami für CD-Veröffentlichungen eingespielt. Die beliebte 9. Bagatelle nahmen zudem auch Marc-André Hamelin und Sun Hee You auf. / Niveau : 5 / Répertoire / Piano

Par KAPUSTIN NIKOLAI. The Humoresque Op. 75 - composed in 1994 - is considered one of the most difficult pieces by Kapustin. Presented in the standard jazz form, the variations sound like improvisations, influenced by McCoy Tyner's style, but are minutely through-composed. / Niveau : Avancé / Répertoire / Piano

Par KAPUSTIN NIKOLAI. The 6 Little Pieces Op. 133 composed in 2007 are, after his Sonatina op. 100 (Schott, ED 22853), Kapustins easiest works for piano. The pieces can be played individually, the intervals are all within the octave range and allow younger pianists to discover the jazz-idiomatic world of Kapustin./ Répertoire / Piano
