🇺🇦Nikolai Kapustin ： Piano Sonata No.6 Op.62

Grounded in the classical sonata tradition, this work combines the language of jazz with demanding pianistic writing. Syncopated rhythms, sophisticated harmonies, and finely detailed passagework create a strong sense of momentum, while the contrasting character of each section brings vivid variety to the music. A particular attraction lies in the contrast between energy and shading within its carefully shaped development. In performance, it is important not only to coordinate rapid passages accurately, but also to maintain the underlying pulse, articulate accents and phrasing clearly, and bring the melodic line forward from within the texture.
