The seventh sonata serves as an energetic homage to Nikolai Kapustin, fusing jazz-inflected rhythm with classical form. It marks the composer’s first deliberate engagement with genre and groove, translating swing and virtuosity into structural dialogue.
In contrast to the introspective tone of the earlier sonatas, No. 7 celebrates motion, clarity, and liberation, functioning as a rhythmic counterpoint to the spiritual and existential arc of the preceding cycle.
