🇺🇦Nikolai Kapustin ： Ten Inventions Allegro risoluto No.4 Op.73-4

No. 4, marked “Allegro risoluto,” is grounded in the contrapuntal writing of an invention while drawing on Kapustin’s characteristic jazz sensibility and forward drive. Lively, sharply articulated rhythms propel the music, with multiple voices taking turns as the musical line moves ahead. Listening for the exchange between voices and changes in accent reveals the work’s close construction and vitality. In performance, do not pursue speed alone: bring out the individual voices clearly between the hands, and carefully shape the lightness of the attack and contrasts in dynamics. Maintaining the flow of the detailed figures with a touch that avoids excessive hardness helps convey the music’s resolute character.
