"One of the most prominent composers of the younger generation of Russians…"

 Galina Grigor'yeva - New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians

 

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...
