Trying and failing to play the first movement of Kapustin's Sinfonietta, in good fun! Robin probably could have managed if it weren't for me ^^ A warning for those who think the Sinfonietta is a nice and easy little piece to do quickly with a friend: it isn't (except the second movement). The part where we end is very tricky rhythmically, you basically need to internalize that rhythm very precisely (with a lot of offbeats and prolonged notes) and keep following the beat while playing. But it's so much fun! Also, it's basically impossible to turn the pages yourself in the first movement. you need someone to turn them for you or skip a lot of notes. the second movement is fine though. If i only had had more time to practice, we might have done a better job and finished this awesome movement. But still, it was a lot of fun to try (= music starts at 0:32 we were much more successful with the beautiful second movement though, which is also on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tudGGFJqt0 Nikolai Kapustin - Sinfonietta Op. 49a for piano four hands - I.
