Sergei Prokofiev
Legend op.12 n°6
Sviatoslav Richter
This time of year, with the lengthening days but still long nights and the lingering winter always makes me think of Prokofiev. This was the piece that showed me what a master of cadences Prokofiev was, how much more than mere formulas were possible at a cadence, even within the tonal system. It's wonderful to hear a really great piano player like Richter playing these kinds of simple student pieces, they show you how much was there that you missed. I'm hoping to give it another try.
Score
