Composer-Sergei Prokofiev
Sergey Prokofiev (1891-1953) was a 20th-century Russian (and Soviet) composer known for his diverse musical output, including symphonies, concerti, film music, operas, ballets, and program pieces. Born into an agricultural family, village life and peasant songs influenced him deeply. His mother, a skilled pianist, nurtured his musical talent, leading him to study under renowned teachers such as Sergey Taneyev and Reinhold Glière.
From 1904 to 1914, Prokofiev attended the conservatory in St. Petersburg, a period of rapid creative growth. His graduation performance of the Piano Concerto No. 1 in D-flat Major earned him the Anton Rubinstein Prize. Although he received a solid academic foundation, Prokofiev sought musical innovation and found support in progressive circles advocating musical renewal.
During the pre-Revolutionary period, Prokofiev explored various artistic currents, drawing inspiration from modernist Russian poets, painters like Cézanne and Picasso’s followers, and theatrical ideas from Vsevolod Meyerhold. He collaborated with Serge Diaghilev, the famous ballet impresario, and gained recognition for his piano concerti.
In the 1920s, Prokofiev entered a “foreign period,” touring extensively and achieving success in Europe and the United States. He composed numerous works, including ballets, symphonies, and operas. Despite success abroad, Prokofiev missed his homeland and eventually returned to the Soviet Union in the 1930s.
During World War II, Prokofiev’s patriotic feelings intensified, and he composed works reflecting national themes. The war years took a toll on his health and subjected him to political pressure, but he continued to create remarkable compositions.
