🇺🇦Nikolai Kapustin ： 7 Polyphonic Pieces for Left Hand Op.87

This collection of seven pieces uses the left hand alone to distinguish and shape multiple voices. Centered on contrapuntal writing, it condenses melodic exchanges, inner-voice movement, and a vital rhythmic energy, allowing each piece to reveal a different character. Rather than letting the music flow as a single melody, performers should carefully coordinate the direction and note values of each voice. Bringing out the melody while keeping accompaniment-like figures light helps sustain the music’s forward momentum. Clear articulation and dynamic changes are essential, while one of the work’s main attractions is the challenge of shaping the overall balance with the left hand alone.
