Prokofiev's
Piano Sonatas 6â??8 are
often referred to as
â??war sonatasâ?,
since they were composed
in Russia during World
War II during times of
great hardship. As the
shortest of the three,
no. 7 is entirely focused
on the essentials, and is
certainly Prokofiev's
most famous piano sonata.
Anyone who has heard it
will not forget the hasty
first movement, marked
â??Allegro
inquietoâ?, the
cantabile theme of the
second movement and the
relentless pull of the
machine-like, thudding
finale. The Sonata
appeared in print in 1943
and that same year
received the Stalin Prize
(second category),
including prize-money of
50,000 rubles, which was
welcomed with great joy
in the Prokofiev
household. You can also
derive joy from
Prokofiev's Seventh
Sonata, here critically
edited on the basis of
all the sources, and
produced using Henle's
legendary music
engraving. A preface by
the world's most
prominent Prokofiev
researcher, Simon
Morrison, rounds off the
edition.
