The fifth piece from Kapustin’s Five Etudes in Different Intervals is a virtuosic etude that combines the lively character of Animato with continuously moving octaves. Its buoyant rhythmic drive and jazz-inflected vocabulary create momentum, while sharp accents stand out amid the brilliant sonorities. A key attraction is the way changes in the figurations and the overall energy unfold throughout the piece. In performance, the octaves in both hands should remain even, with tension released from the wrists and arms; it is also important to maintain a clear sense of pulse and direction in the phrasing so that the music does not become lost in sheer speed.
