🇺🇦Nikolai Kapustin ： 6 Pieces for Piano No.3 Allegretto Op.133

No. 3, “Allegretto,” is from Kapustin’s 6 Pieces for Piano. This miniature is marked by a light, sophisticated rhythmic character and vivid harmonies that suggest the language of jazz. Short phrases answer one another as the music unfolds, creating a bright sense of motion alongside subtle changes of expression. A particular highlight is the interplay between flowing passages and crisp rhythmic gestures. In performance, it is important to maintain a steady tempo while keeping the notes clear and even, balancing the melodic direction with the lightness of the accompaniment without overemphasizing the accents.
