尼古拉·凱帕斯汀
（Nikolai Kapustin, 1937～）
尼古拉·凱帕斯汀，於1937年生於烏克蘭的戈爾洛夫卡。師從戈爾登維瑟（A. Goldenweiser），1961年畢業於莫斯科音樂學院。二十世紀50年代後期，他便成為了優秀的爵士鋼琴家、作曲家及改編者，並經常和尤里·紹爾斯基的莫斯科中央藝術俱樂部大樂隊（Yuri Saulsky 's Central Artists' Club Big Band in Moscow）組成五重奏演出。1961～1972年，凱帕斯汀和奧萊格·蘭茨特拉姆爵士樂隊（Oleg Lundstrem's Jazz Orchestra）在蘇聯各地及國外巡迴演出。於1980年便成為蘇聯的老作曲家聯盟中的一員。
他的創作風格，融合了西方古典及後古典藝術與現代流行音樂，搖滾，爵士等元素。早期，他熱衷於創作器樂協奏曲，如三部鋼琴協奏曲（1961年、1974年、1985年）、一部兩個樂章的鋼琴協奏曲（1980年）、鋼琴小協奏曲（1957年）以及為鋼琴和樂隊而作的狂想曲（1976年）等。但在不久後，他又熱衷於鋼琴獨奏作品的創作。在1980年，他發表了《早期音樂風格組曲》、《變奏曲》、《小托卡塔》、《破曉》及《無窮動》等。
