I made a track with drums and bass for Nikolai Kapustins Toccatina op. 40 no. 3. It is so much fun playing it along with the CD. One of my favorites!

@RobinLSL7 жыл бұрын
Groovy! The drum and bass allow for a slower tempo which really makes the jazziness stand out here.
@zswu3141611 ай бұрын
This is the only Toccatina where I can actually follow the pulse all the way through! Kapustin's recording had parts where I lost the beat and couldn't convince my ears that the measure lines were where they were.
@ShaunakDesaiPiano8 ай бұрын
Kapustin often writes like that on purpose. The drums give a different feel to it, allowing you to know where the measure lines are all the time, but Kapustin often makes measure lines unclear.

Awesome!! Nice to hear someone with jazz instincts interpret Kapustin. Being crossover classical/jazz, for some reason seems to be inticing mainly the classical oriented so far. Nice to hear it pulled to the jazz side.
@whorace39 жыл бұрын
This is the best Toccatina ever! It's one of those compositions where everybody decides they're going to be the World's Speediest Speed Freak. "Watch how fast I can sound these notes" is not a legitimate style of interpretation. And everybody does that. I don't care to listen to that. I want to hear the music. In this performance, I can hear the music. I would listen to this video over and over, even without the clever drums and bass added.

This is awesome! The added bass and drums really helps give the piece some musical context to one that might just be starting to learn this piece or any other of Kapustin's pieces, which can often be difficult to interpret through those thick passages! It helps the learner to "see the wood through the trees" so to speak, so we can better grasp the mood and paint a better music picture with the notes. Thank you this!

Great job Stephan!.... and as far as Nikolai Kapustin being around to enjoy this, last I heard he is still very much alive!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu diesem gelungenen Video! Der Grotian klingt unglaublich voll in dem Raum. Für meinen Begriff ist das Stück hervorragend interpretiert. Drums und Bass im Hintergrund sind allerfeinst und geben dem Stück eine herrliche Durchzugskraft! Es wirkt, als hätte die Toccatina nur darauf gewartet. Liebe Grüße aus St. Pauli.
