SERGIE SERGEIEVICH PROKOFIEV

23th April 1891 --- 5th March 1953

Sergei Sergeievich Prokofiev, (1891-1953)  Russian composer,  born Ekaterinoslav.  He studied under Gliere and then at the
St. Petersburg Conservatory under Liadov, Wihtol, Rimsky Korsakov and Anna Essipova. He won the Rubinstein prize for his
first piano concerto. In 1918 he left Russia, living in Britain, France, Japan and the U.S.A before returning to Russia in 1927.
The Soviet authorities insisted that he should popularise his music. In 1948, however it was felt that he had not carried this
far enough and he was accused of showing an individualism intolerable to Soviet society.

His efforts at more popular and sympathetic music  can be seen in such works  as Peter and the Wolf,  the cantata  Toast for
Stalin's  Birthday,  and the  film music for  Ivan the  Terrible  and Alexander Nevsky.  His operas include  The Love for  Three
Oranges, The Gambler (after Dostoievsky's novel) and War and  Peace (after Tolstoy's novel). He also wrote music for ballet
as well  as films,  7 symphonies,  2 violin and  5 piano concertos,  and many piano works.  His music in his earlier  years was
distinguished by its hard brilliance, his later works showing a mellowing and maturity of style.
