Kapustin Prelude op 40 no 1 with intro and additional solo part

I played around with the op 40 no 1 Nikolai Kapustin prelude.
I added an intro and an additional solo part in the middle because I enjoyed
the harmonies so much.

Electrifying!!!! I sincerely think that you are one of the few who really understand the remarkable polyphony and polyrhythm of the piece, and there are as many as 4 things going on simultaneously. Nice prelude to the prelude, and a cool solo, too.

[@baxterdifabrizio8503]

I think this is beautiful. Excellent work. So creative!

[@HistoryLostSecrets]

Brilliant! Loved the added parts. Middle solo sounds just like him!

[@StephanPareigis]

Stephan.....this is breathtaking.....phenomenal! I listened to this at least 15 times...in a row! Thank you for demonstrating what is possible...

I thought I have seen all the great Kapustin channels on youtube, but I was wrong. Great performance and composition. I've subscribed!

Now it get's really complicated, improvising around a composed piece mimicking improvisation

[@tradivoro]

Stephan, that was brilliant playing... You have amazing technique.. Thanks for your tutorials, they are very helpful and enlightening, even though some of them will take a lot of work...

[@neutral_puma845]

Very pretty

Amazing!

[@michelestieven3960]

Fucking fantastic

I love the intro but it's not until 24 seconds has lapsed when you hear any similarity to Kapustin's Op 40 no. 1. Sounds very Keith Jarretty at the Koln concert. Your middle section blends seamlessly with Kapustin's. I can tell when it departs from the original because I am so used to listening to Kapustin's version that, when it strays, it makes you sit up. Nevertheless, you're a very capable composer. Let's hear some of your original and complete works and more performances on the piano.

Sound more Jazzy than the composer himself! Great!

[@user-ko9wc2qm1g]

Can i get the sheet music? Even though i will pay,i will pay to get music

[@jykejackson]

wow...... this is killing, i will be very grateful if you will break it down.....

[@nelson0922]

Is there anyway you can do a piano tutorial

[@SammyP321]

I think you mean Etude Op 40. No.1, not Prelude! Nicely played though!

[@KyleHohn]

Sam Pickering I believe it is subtitled prelude by the composer

[@laimapipare63]

@@KyleHohn It truly is. This is a programmatic piece of music

[@Degenerate_Gen]

no it is "prelude" that's the title

[@mathroberts3841]

Bravo on composing in the complex style of Kapustin but why would you change an already perfect piece? If Kapustin thought that he needed another section in the middle he would have added it! The piece is that piece for a reason and adding intros and solos just makes it unbalanced!

[@StephanPareigis]

+Math Roberts Thanks for your opinion, my friend. My personal motivation for adding these parts is just pure love in this wonderful piece. I remember chick corea improvising over his - already perfect - children songs. I consider my contribution as art. It may be liked or disliked.

[@MrBilloven]

To my mind, your contribution is exceptional! I am also impressed by the recording result. Do you mind if I ask how it was set up the mics etc?

[@AlexanderThePianist]

This kind of comment and mentality is what caused classical music's decline after the period of Debussy. Almost all the well known classical musicians after Debussy were interpreters, not composers. Great pianists in the tradition no longer were learning to become the next Bach's, Scriabins, ect. The only reason this KZbinr is able to do this is probably because he has studied jazz.
