🇺🇦Nikolai Kapustin ： Prelude and Fugue No.17 Op.82-17

This piece is No. 17 from Kapustin’s *24 Preludes and Fugues*. Within its succession of a prelude and a fugue, a modern harmonic language and jazz-inflected rhythmic vitality are combined with contrapuntal writing. In the prelude, it is important to maintain a fluent sense of motion, while in the fugue the movement of each voice should remain clearly audible. Rather than overemphasizing every small accent or syncopation, performers should feel the forward drive within the beat, bringing out both the music’s lightness and its underlying tension.
