Something I've been working on in the past 2 months.
Kapustin fused the traditions of both classical piano repertoire and improvisational jazz, combining jazz idioms and classical music structures. It was tragic to hear of Kapustin's death earlier this month (2 July 2020). Although this was the first piece I have ever played from this composer, I am certainly going to learn the other Etudes, as they are both extremely pleasant to play and listen to.
Thank you Nikolai Kapustin for all your music, and may you rest in peace.
