Par PROKOFIEV SERGEI. Interestingly there are two different versions of Prokofiev’s second piano concerto, the first written between 1912 and 1913, the second written in 1923. However, during the Russian Civil War, the original manuscript of the Concerto was destroyed in a fire in Prokofiev’s apartment in St. Petersburg. In 1923 he recreated the score from memory, effectively composing the second edition of the work, which was very different. Prokofiev wrote to a friend: I have so completely rewritten the second concerto that it might be considered the fourth (his third piano concerto having been written in the meantime). At the time of composition, the concerto's wild temperamentleft some exalted, whereas others were horrified by the jarring and at the time futuristic sound. Today, however, it is generally recognised as a masterpiece and is one of the most virtuosic works in the piano concerto repertoire. Available here is the Hawkes Pocket Score edition (No. 877) of Prokoviev’s virtuosic Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor Op. 16, and is ideal for study and perusal usage. / Hawkes Pocket Scores HPS 877 / Répertoire / Piano et Orchestre

For piano-Sergei Prokofiev was born in Sontsovka in the Ukraine on the 23rd of April 1891. Soon showing a talent for piano and composition by the time he was fourteen he was attending the St. Petersburg Conservatoire where he received extensive schooling inpiano harmony composition and conducting. Prokofiev was greatly interested in contemporary composers (Reger dIndy Debussy and Richard Strauss) and quickly made a name for himself with his revolutionary aesthetic language of great harmonic andrhythmic impact. His compositions were inspired by Symbolism and Futurism two artistic movements predominate at the time. Prokofiev attracted attention through his early works – the Etudes Op.2 and the Pieces Op. 3 and 4 – owing to his specialtechnique and percussive treatment of the piano (similar in some respects to Bartok) although he was also capable of rich melodic invention.Actually composed in 1907-08 before his Four Etudes for Piano Op. 2 Prokofiev’s Four Pieces for Piano Op. 3 and 4 were only published in 1911. Concert pieces some show Scriabin’s influence on the composer especially in the titles.

Prokofiev’s second Violin Concerto was premiered on 1st December 1935 in Madrid Spain with the French violinist Robert Soëtens playing the solo Violin part accompanied by the Madrid Symphony Orchestra conducted by Enrique Arbós. When writing the concerto Prokofiev was on tour with Robert Soëtens who commissioned the work and so the work was composed while the composer was in many different locations.This concerto is more conventional than some of Prokofiev’s early compositions which were perhaps more bold and adventurous. The piece begins with a graceful melody played by the violin which reflects those melodies typical to traditional Russian folk music andpervades the second movement Andante assai. The third movement’s ‘rondo’ theme however has a Spanish feel.Available here is the Hawkes Pocket score edition (No.732) of Prokofiev’s vibrant and exciting Violin Concerto No.2 in G Minor Op.63 which is ideal for study and perusal use.
