🇺🇦Nikolai Kapustin ： Prelude No.13 in Ges-Dur Op.53-13

This prelude brings together a lively rhythmic character and vivid harmonic movement, creating a dynamic energy suggestive of jazz idioms. It develops through a succession of short phrases, with the roles of melody and accompaniment seemingly passing from one to the other. It is therefore important to maintain the flow while keeping each voice clear. Accents should not be forced, but shaped as a springy impulse within the beat to bring out the music’s lightness. Avoid rushing the tempo, listen carefully to the harmonic changes, and use the pedal sparingly to clarify the sonority and balance incisiveness with color.
