🇺🇦Nikolai Kapustin ： Prelude No.7 in A-Dur Op.53-7

No. 7 from Kapustin’s 24 Preludes combines a light, forward-driving energy with the language of jazz, creating a prelude full of vivid movement. Its finely detailed flow of notes and syncopations propel the music forward, while the colors of the harmony emerge within it. It is important to maintain a clear sense of pulse while differentiating the melodic line from the inner voices. Rather than pursuing speed alone, carefully shaping the placement of accents and the breathing of each phrase brings out both the crisp rhythmic character and the lyrical expression. Thoughtful control of dynamic changes and attentive listening to the movement of each voice lead to a poised, three-dimensional performance.
