Nikolai Kapustin ： Ten Bagatelles No.6 Op.59-6

Kapustin’s Ten Bagatelles No. 6 is a compact piece that combines a classical framework with jazz-inflected rhythmic vitality and sophisticated harmonic awareness. Within its concise span, lively motion alternates with more composed expressions, while the exchange of finely detailed figures shapes the musical flow. Rather than simply pursuing speed, the performer should keep the buoyancy within the beat consistent. A clear touch that allows the melody to emerge, together with careful pedaling that listens closely to the harmonic changes, brings out both the vivid rhythms and the delicate nuances of this piece.
