🇺🇦Nikolai Kapustin ： Prelude and Fugue No.15 Op.82-15

This prelude and fugue brings together the precise sense of structure found in classical writing and the rhythmic character of jazz that is evident in Kapustin’s musical language. In the Prelude, it is important to bring out the crisp rhythms and sophisticated harmonic movement while maintaining a clear pulse within its lively character. In the Fugue, shape the overall flow by listening closely to the subject as it passes between voices and to the interplay of the individual lines. Avoid rushing the smaller note values, organize the accents and articulation carefully, and let the melody come forward while keeping the accompaniment restrained for a transparent performance.
