Paraphrase on Laufey's "From the Start" in the style of Nikolai Kapustin
What can I say, I'm a fan of Laufey, Kapustin, and bossa nova, so I thought I'd try my own version. Inspired by @hesangasong 's various Kapustinisations and in particular this exact tune, I've studied Kapustin's own bossa paraphrases and added an introduction and coda that draws from the last of the Bagatelles (op. 59). In addition to the overarching Kapustin style, I've also snuck in three references to other music. See if you can spot them!
