About the Concert
PIANO CONCERTO NO . 2 IN G MINOR
Sergei Prokofiev
Born in Sontsovka , Ukraine , April 23 , 1891 ; died in Moscow , U . S . S . R ., March 5 , 1953
Sergei Prokofiev was only 21 and still a student at the St . Petersburg Conservatory when he wrote his ambitious Second Piano Concerto in 1912 – 1913 . A cosseted only child and extremely precocious , he had driven his illustrious teachers crazy . Rarely bowing to authority , he even argued publicly about orchestration with the master himself , Nikolai Rimsky- Korsakov . For all his temerity , Prokofiev only received mediocre marks in composition , but in 1914 , he did capture the Rubinstein Prize , the Conservatory ’ s highest honor for pianists .
His musical voice was already basically formed : brilliant , sardonic , in love with clashing harmonies and spiky rhythms . What Richard Aldrich of The New York Times wrote of his piano playing in 1918 seems already to have been true five years earlier : “ He is an individual virtuoso with a technique all his own . He can create big sonorities , sometimes mellow to richness , more often brittle and raucous . His fingers are steel , his wrists steel , his biceps and triceps steel .”
