Summary of This Score

Composed in 1984, the "8 Concert Studies" op. 40 perfectly illustrate Nikolaï Kapustin's inventive and polymorphic writing. Each study offers a distinct identity and immediately recognizable character, where the demands of concert piano meet the free inspiration of jazz languages. There are nods to blues, ragtime, boogie-woogie, and stride piano, with a constant pulse and characteristic harmonies, often sharp and colorful.

At the keyboard, these pages require complete virtuosity: independence of hands, rapid articulation, management of accents, rhythmic precision, and endurance. The difficulties, sometimes very significant, are always in service of a captivating musical dramaturgy, making the study as stimulating to practice as effective in concert. This score is aimed at advanced pianists who wish to enrich their repertoire with a modern, energetic, and demanding work, while developing a solid "swing" style and mastery of phrasing.
