Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Sergei Prokofiev set to work on his Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 16 in 1912 and completed it in 1913. Performing as solo pianist, he premiered the work on August 23 the same year at Pavlovsk. Most of the audience reacted intensely. The concerto's wild temperament left a positive impression on some of the listeners, whereas others were opposed to the jarring and modernistic sound ("To hell with this futurist music!"/ "What is he doing, making fun of us?"/ "The cats on the roof make better music!"). Today it is generally recognized as a masterpiece. The work is dedicated to the memory of Maximilian Schmidthof, a friend of Prokofiev's at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, who had committed suicide in April, after having written a farewell letter to Prokofiev. The original orchestral score was destroyed in a fire following the Russian Revolution. Prokofiev reconstructed and considerably revised the concerto in 1923, making the new version, in his own words, "less foursquare" and "slightly more complex in its contrapuntal fabric". The finished result, Prokofiev felt, was "so completely rewritten that it might almost be considered No. 4". (The Third Concerto had premiered in 1921). He premiered this revised version of the concerto in Paris on May 8, 1924 with Serge Koussevitzky conducting. It remains one of the most technically formidable piano concertos today. The work is scored for piano solo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drum, snare drum, cymbals, tambourine and strings. It consists of four movements l...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2153948 ... Read more

Excerpt:Sergei Prokofiev item Betrothal in a Monastery (original Russian title ) is an opera by Sergei Prokofiev , his sixth with an opus number. The libretto , in Russian , was by the composer and Mira Mendelson (his companion in later life), after Richard Brinsley Sheridan 's ballad opera libretto for Thomas Linley the younger 's The Duenna . Prokofiev began the work in 1940, and it was in rehearsal that year, but World War II halted production of the opera. The first performance did not occur until 3 November 1946 , at the Kirov Theatre with Boris Khaikin conducting. Commentators have noted that, given the context of its creation in the 1940s in the Soviet Union, this opera lacks any particular political or social comment, except perhaps for a scene involving drunken monks. In recent years, the opera has been performed in 1989 at the Wexford Festival and in 2006 at Glyndebourne and was performed at the Palau de les Arts in Valencia , Spain in 2008.
