🇺🇦Nikolai Kapustin ： Divertimento in Four Movements Op.126

Kapustin’s four-movement Divertimento reflects his distinctive interplay of classical structural clarity and jazz-derived rhythmic vitality. The character and momentum shift from movement to movement, offering contrasts between lively drive and refined sonorities. In passages with intricate syncopations and accents, it is essential to maintain a precise sense of pulse rather than relying on momentum alone. Careful balance between the parts, clear articulation, and flexible dynamics help bring out the conversational quality and vitality of the chamber-music writing.
