Nikolai Kapustin – Jazz Prelude No. 13, Op. 53 | Piano w/Score - Gabriele Tomasello
Nikolai Kapustin’s Jazz Preludes, Op. 53 stand at the intersection of classical piano writing and jazz-inspired language.Although deeply influenced by jazz idioms, these works are fully notated and conceived within a rigorous classical framework, requiring precision, structural clarity and rhythmic control rather than improvisation.
This performance features Jazz Prelude No. 13, a compact and sharply characterized miniature that highlights Kapustin’s distinctive use of syncopation, driving rhythms and bold harmonic language. Beneath its energetic surface lies a carefully controlled compositional design, where every detail is meticulously written.
Particular attention is given to articulation, rhythmic precision and balance between vertical harmony and linear motion — elements that are central to Kapustin’s unique pianistic style.
