<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>One of the 20th century's most prolific composers of piano music, Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) is celebrated for his unique piano idiom, combining the seemingly incongruous elements of highly percussive textures with passages of great lyrical charm. Above all, notes <i>Grove's</i>, his music shows a professional care for the performer, never reaching beyond the practicable limits of execution.<br>Pianists will welcome this excellent new compilation of pieces composed between 1907 and 1922 -- the great formative years of Prokofiev's unique approach to keyboard writing -- from his highly original <i>Diabolical suggestion</i> and the dramatic, capricious <i>Sarcasms</i> to the very popular March and Scherzo transcribed by the composer from his opera <i>The love for three organs</i>.<br>Reproduced from authoritative early editions, this generous collection includes <i>Four études</i>, Op. 2; <i>Four pieces</i>, Op. 3; excerpts from <i>Four pieces</i>, Op. 4; <i>Toccata</i>, Op. 11; <i>Ten pieces</i>, Op. 12; the complete <i>Sarcasms</i>, Op. 17, and <i>Visions fugitives</i>, Op. 22; <i>Tales of the old grandmother</i>, Op. 31; <i>Four pieces</i>, Op. 32; and the <i>March and Scherzo</i>, Op. 33ter. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) was a Russian pianist, conductor, and composer who mastered several genres and is one of the major composers of the 20th century.
