Nikolai Kapustin : Capriccio

Op. 146

for Piano (4 hands)

Introduction :

The Capriccio op. 146 holds a special place in Nikolai Kapustin's late output as his final piano work written for four hands. Composed in 2012 for the piano duo 'piaNA', this work is now available in a sheet music edition for the first time. It encapsulates Kapustin's signature fusion of classical structural integrity with the vibrant, improvisational spirit of jazz, offering a sophisticated and energetic dialogue between the two performers.

Product Features :

Published under the prestigious Edition Schott series, this world-first edition provides advanced piano duos with a rare late-period masterpiece. The score is meticulously engraved to handle the complex rhythmic layers and dense jazz harmonies typical of Kapustin's style. It is an essential acquisition for professional duos and advanced students looking to perform contemporary repertoire that successfully bridges the gap between jazz and classical concert music.

Performance Tips :

1. Ensemble Synchronization: In this four-hand setting, the syncopated jazz rhythms require absolute rhythmic unity between both players to maintain the driving 'groove'.
2. Articulation: Kapustin's writing demands a crisp, percussive touch mixed with moments of fluid 'swing' feel; ensure staccatos are light but firmly placed.
3. Voicing: With four hands sharing the keyboard, careful dynamic balancing is necessary to allow the melodic lines to emerge clearly through the rich, jazz-inflected harmonic textures.
4. Pedaling: Coordinate closely between the Secondo and Primo players to prevent the complex chromaticism from becoming muddy, maintaining the clarity of the counterpoint.

Composer :

Nikolai Kapustin (1937–2020) was a legendary Russian composer and pianist. He is world-renowned for his unique ability to transcribe the language of jazz improvisation into formal, fully notated classical structures. His massive output for piano has become a cornerstone of the modern repertoire, celebrated for its technical brilliance and joyful energy.

尼古拉·卡普斯汀 : 隨想曲

作品 146

為鋼琴四手聯彈

內容簡介 :

《隨想曲》（作品 146）在尼古拉·卡普斯汀的晚期創作中具有特殊地位，這是他最後一部為四手聯彈而寫的鋼琴作品。此曲於 2012 年為鋼琴二重奏組合 'piaNA' 所作，現在則是首次以樂譜形式出版。這部作品凝聚了卡普斯汀標誌性的風格——將古典樂的結構嚴謹性與爵士樂充滿活力的即興精神融為一體，為兩位演奏者之間提供了精緻且富有動感的對話。

產品特點 :

隸屬於權威的 Edition Schott 系列，這份全球首版為高階鋼琴二重奏提供了一部罕見的晚期傑作。樂譜印刷精良，能清晰呈現卡普斯汀風格中特有的複雜節奏層次與濃密的爵士和聲。對於希望演出成功結合爵士語彙與古典音樂會特質之當代曲目的專業二重奏與高階學生來說，這是必備的收藏。

演奏提示 :

1. 合奏同步性： 在這首四手聯彈作品中，帶有爵士色彩的切分音節奏要求兩位演奏者之間具有絕對的節奏統一性，以維持推動性的「律動感」(groove)。
2. 發音法： 卡普斯汀的寫作要求俐落、具打擊感的觸鍵，並混合流暢的「搖擺感」(swing)；確保斷奏輕巧但位置堅實。
3. 聲部平衡： 由於四隻手共用一台鋼琴，必須進行仔細的力量分配與動態平衡，使旋律線條能從濃郁且具爵士風格的和聲織體中清晰顯現。
4. 踏板運用： 第二部 (Secondo) 與第一部 (Primo) 演奏者需密切協調踏板的踩放，防止複雜的半音階變得混濁，以保持對位線條的清晰度。

作曲家介紹 :

尼古拉·卡普斯汀 (Nikolai Kapustin, 1937–2020) 是一位傳奇的俄羅斯作曲家與鋼琴家。他以能將爵士即興語言轉化為正式且完全記譜的古典結構而聞名於世。他龐大的鋼琴作品產量已成為現代曲目庫的基石，因其輝煌的技巧與充滿喜悅的能量而備受讚譽。
