🇺🇦Nikolai Kapustin ： Prelude No.19 in Es-Dur Op.53-19

In Kapustin’s characteristic use of jazz idioms, rhythmic drive and vivid harmonic color propel the music forward. Even amid its lively motion, the melody remains prominent, and the changing sonorities created by the interplay with the accompaniment are a key point of interest. Shape each musical phrase as a coherent unit, maintaining a steady pulse while keeping the fine rhythms precise and clearly balancing the individual voices. Use the pedal sparingly so that the sound does not become overly blurred; carefully placed accents and dynamics can add elasticity to the flow and bring the performance closer to a crisp, incisive character.
