🇺🇦Nikolai Kapustin ： Ten Bagatelles No.5 Op.59-5

No. 5 from Kapustin’s Ten Bagatelles combines the concision of a classical miniature with jazz-derived vitality and sophisticated harmonic color, creating a highly concentrated piece. The work unfolds as a single continuous flow, shaped by rhythmic momentum and the movement of its melodies. It is important to maintain its lightness while placing accents and rests precisely and ensuring that the inner voices do not become buried. Rather than playing mechanically fast, keep the smaller note values even and listen closely to the rise and fall of the phrases and changes in resonance; this brings out the vivid energy and intellectual humor of the music.
