================================================
However you see it, though, Kapustin's Concert Étude No. 1 is definitely a major challenge for any pianist. It's fast and requires a huge amount of dexterity and stamina. It also has to be intensely rhythmic for all the syncopations to be effective. On top of all that, the chords are huge and the texture frequently jumps all over the keyboard, while at the same time, the musical expression has to be clear and shaped effectively. Try it if you dare!
