"One of the most prominent composers of the younger generation of Russians…"
Galina Grigor'yeva - New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians
Article
Dmitri Capyrin is a Russian composer who successfully combines a variety techniques, often using literary sources and motifs in his works. In several works Capyrin fluidly combines a variety of techniques, including traditional
tonality
,
twelve-tone
composition, and
modality
. Modality is an important element of Capyrin's compositional procedure: relying on
essiaen
's concept of
limited transposition
, he also experiments with the
tone-semitone scale
. While Capyrin treats structure as transformative within a single piece, which may create, at a superficial level, a feeling of uncertainty and ambivalence, his music conveys a clearly articulated message...
