🇺🇦Nikolai Kapustin ： Scherzo Op.95

Kapustin’s Scherzo Op.95 is a vivid and virtuosic work that combines classical piano writing with the rhythmic vitality and drive of jazz. Within its lively motion, sharp accents, buoyant rhythms, and finely interwoven exchanges between the notes create an impression of constantly changing scenes. In performance, it is important not only to coordinate the rapid passages accurately, but also to maintain a flexible sense of pulse and articulate the placement of accents clearly. Listening carefully to the movement of each voice within the brilliant sonority, while balancing lightness with forward momentum, brings out the work’s full appeal.
