🇺🇦Nikolai Kapustin ： Ten Bagatelles No.7 Op.59-7

No. 7 from Kapustin’s Ten Bagatelles is a miniature grounded in classical pianistic writing, distinguished by a jazz-inflected rhythmic vitality and light forward momentum. Within its compact span, sharp accents and finely detailed movement of notes shift the character as the music unfolds, allowing the listener to savor a sense of energy concentrated in a concise design. In performance, it is important to maintain the flow of the pulse while clarifying the accents and coordinating exchanges between the hands and the rapid passagework. Rather than rushing mechanically, cultivate supple rhythmic flexibility and carefully varied tone colors to bring out its polished humor and vivid contours.
