尼古拉·凯帕斯汀（Nikolai Kapustin, 1937～）

尼古拉·凯帕斯汀，于1937年生于乌克兰的戈尔洛夫卡。师从戈尔登维瑟（A. Goldenweiser），1961年毕业于莫斯科音乐学院。二十世纪50年代后期，他便成为了优秀的爵士钢琴家、作曲家及改编者，并经常和尤里·绍尔斯基的莫斯科中央艺术俱乐部大乐队（Yuri Saulsky 's Central Artists' Club Big Band in Moscow）组成五重奏演出。1961～1972年，凯帕斯汀和奥莱格·兰茨特拉姆爵士乐队（Oleg Lundstrem's Jazz Orchestra）在苏联各地及国外巡回演出。于1980年便成为苏联的老作曲家联盟中的一员。

他的创作风格，融合了西方古典及后古典艺术与现代流行音乐，摇滚，爵士等元素。早期，他热衷于创作器乐协奏曲，如三部钢琴协奏曲（1961年、1974年、1985年）、一部两个乐章的钢琴协奏曲（1980年）、钢琴小协奏曲（1957年）以及为钢琴和乐队而作的狂想曲（1976年）等。但在不久后，他又热衷于钢琴独奏作品的创作。在1980年，他发表了《早期音乐风格组曲》、《变奏曲》、《小托卡塔》、《破晓》及《无穷动》等。
