It is typical of Kapustin's modesty that he should celebrate the composition of his one-hundreth opus, in 2000, with a short, unassuming work that places relatively humble demands on the pianist.

But this system falls short when dealing with the wider intervals of the pentatonic scales. So pianist, composer and educator Marius 'Butch?
