The Synthesis of Jazz and Classical Styles in Three Piano Works of Nikolai Kapustin
THE SYNTHESIS OF JAZZ AND CLASSICAL STYLES IN THREE PIANO WORKS OF NIKOLAI KAPUSTIN __________________________________________________ A monograph Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board __________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS __________________________________________________________ by Tatiana Abramova August 2014 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Charles Abramovic, Advisory Chair, Professor of Piano Harvey Wedeen, Professor of Piano Dr. Cynthia Folio, Professor of Music Studies Richard Oatts, External Member, Professor, Artistic Director of Jazz Studies ABSTRACT The Synthesis of Jazz and Classical Styles in Three Piano Works of Nikolai Kapustin Tatiana Abramova Doctor of Musical Arts Temple University, 2014 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Dr. Charles Abramovic The music of the Russian-Ukrainian composer Nikolai Kapustin is a fascinating synthesis of jazz and classical idioms. Kapustin has explored many existing traditional classical forms in conjunction with jazz. Among his works are: 20 piano sonatas, Suite in the Old Style, Op.28, preludes, etudes, variations, and six piano concerti. The most significant work in this regard is a cycle of 24 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 82, which was completed in 1997. He has also written numerous works for different instrumental ensembles and for orchestra. Well-known artists, such as Steven Osborn and Marc-Andre Hamelin have made a great contribution by recording Kapustin's music with Hyperion, one of the major recording companies. Being a brilliant pianist himself, Nikolai Kapustin has also released numerous recordings of his own music. Nikolai Kapustin was born in 1937 in Ukraine. He started his musical career as a classical pianist. In 1961 he graduated from the Moscow Conservatory, studying with the legendary pedagogue, Professor of Moscow Conservatory Alexander Goldenweiser, one of the greatest founders of the Russian piano school. -

Lyubov Orlova: Stalinism’S Shining Star,’ Senses of Cinema, Issue 23: the Female Actor, December 2002
Dina Iordanova, ‘Lyubov Orlova: Stalinism’s Shining Star,’ Senses of Cinema, Issue 23: The Female Actor, December 2002. Available: https://www.sensesofcinema.com/2002/the-female-actor/orlova/ Lyubov Orlova: Stalinism’s Shining Star Dina Iordanova Issue 23 A Lyubov Orlova filmography appears at the bottom of this article. A misguided assumption about Soviet cinema, which still persists, is that it’s a national cinema mostly comprised of depressing war dramas in which popular genres were neglected and even suppressed. This is certainly not the picture of Soviet cinema I remember when, 1 growing up in 1960s Bulgaria, I could enjoy a fair share of popular films, like the Soviet action-adventure Neulovimyye mstiteli/The Elusive Avengers (1966) or Yuri Nikulin’s superb comedies, all playing in theatres alongside the comedies of Louis de Funès or Raj Kapoor’s ever-popular weepy Awara/The Vagabond (1951). A highlight was Eldar Ryazanov’s musical, Karnavalnaya noch/Carnival Night (1956), with Lyudmila Gurchenko’s unforgettable dancing and singing. Made several years before I was even born, Carnival Night was so popular that by the time I started watching movies it was still regularly playing in theatres as well as being shown on television. Here, a buoyant and beautiful Lydmila Gurchenko leads a group of amateur actors to undermine the plans of the Culture Ministry and its boring leadership in order to turn a New Year’s Eve celebration into an exciting vibrant extravaganza, with confetti, sparklers and crackers. It was only later, in my teenage years when I started visiting the Sofia Cinémathèque, that I realized how Carnival Night in many aspects replicated Grigoriy Aleksandrov’s musical extravaganzas of the 1930s. -

LUISA MILLER Opera Company Stages Verdi’S Seldom-Performed Melodrama Saturday
Sandel: Equality is the key to the common good, Page B3 The Chautauquan Daily One Dollar Chautauqua, New York The Official Newspaper of Chautauqua Institution | Weekend Edition July 9 & 10, 2011 Volume CXXXV, Issue 13 LUISA MILLER Opera Company stages Verdi’s seldom-performed melodrama Saturday Josh Cooper | Staff Writer Photo | Ellie Haugsby ex, rivalry, secret identities, extor- tion, poisonings, sword fights and murder. Sound like a typical evening in Chautauqua? SThese may not be normal occurrences in this placid town, but Saturday is an excep- tion, as the melodrama of Giuseppe Verdi’s Luisa Miller explodes across the Amphithe- ater stage in operatic proportions. For one night only, the Chautauqua Opera Company will stage this rarely performed oeuvre of the 19th-century Italian composer. Verdi’s melodramma tragico in tre atti, as the librettist describes it, was first heard in Naples in 1849. It is based on the play of Friedrich von Schil- ler, “Kabale und Liebe,” which, loosely translated, means “Politics and Passion.” The story is full of over-the-top drama. Jay Lesenger, the Chautauqua Opera Com- pany’s artistic/general director, said the size of the story fits the size of the stage. “It’s larger than life,” Lesenger said. “I think that’s great for the Amphitheater because it’s a larger-than-life venue.” The Drama The scene is Tyrol, in what we now know as Austria, in the 1700s. Luisa is the daughter of a soldier, and she is in love with a man who the town knows as Carlo, but who is really Rodolfo, the son of the powerful Count Walter. -
