Being someone who knows all of Prokofiev's piano concerti and sonatas inside out, I can safely say that he is a FANTASTIC piano composer, but I find his symphonic works a tad redundant and lacking in textural development. Not to say it isn't beautiful... it most certainly is, and the theme is simply genius.

I played that in a big orchestra last year, hu that was fun! :) difficult like hell but so much fun, Prokofiev was awesome! :)

[dispellerr99]

oh man, he gets me just with the 3 first notes!

something to study about. stronger than any metal!

And i fucking love metal!

[TheDejoo777]

@dispellerr99 me too))



[musicween]

In love with Prokofiev. Best. Composer. EVER!

[plumisland1964]

bagleass, clasical music is like happy days and buddy holly, not this crap. this crap is for looosers who sit and chat with a glass of scotch and talk politics or partical physics , you know ?

[hymnofashes]

@plumisland1964 Yeah there's no PICTURES either. Queers probably listen to this.

[MurchingBund]

@plumisland1964

What is with you children on YouTube? If you were educated in music, at all, you'd realize that classic music-- not older contemporary music-- is the only reason you have what you listen to now. Go to school or at least read Wikipedia.

@plumisland1964 shut up, you don't know what you're talking about at all.

[jamesgagne2000]

@plumisland1964 I drink scotch and like to talk about particle physics. This music is for me!

*partical

[thomandy]

Hans Zimmer borrowed the opening In his score to Madagascar :)

[jpd04]

Superb! 

[bagelzkickass]

This song got me into classical music.

[gibsondanny]

@bagelzkickass This aint classical music, its 20th century

[FREDV321]

@bagelzkickass This is not a song. It has no lyrics.

[donpsychote]

I like the electronic version by Isao Tomita

Prokofiev resembles Chevy Chase in this picture--just sayin'.

[LEOPARDTWO]

Masterful. Five stars.

[Flutist11]

I like that clarinet solo! "Let's just change key randomly!"

[dredeye]

@Flutist11 In before some prick replies "Prokofiev's music is never random!"

:D

[Flutist11]

@dredeye I rarely doubt it either :) Highly organized music.

[cafity]

This is brilliant!!! I love the themes and the time is just perfect... (and i love the passage at 4:50 ^^) this mvt. always puts me so happy =)

[Matteded]

The only recording of this piece I've ever liked more than this one is the recording with Yoel Levi and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. It takes a good interpreter to make this movement sound as sarcastic and graceful as I think it needs to. 5 stars.

[porroquio]

at 2:50 it really sounds like a soundtrack from Final Fantasy XII lol!

[dirtyratmiller]

6/8? 12/8? 7/4? Count it again!

[zickle3000]

wow whatever ochestra this is is really hyping the tempo!

[LEOPARDTWO]

Brilliant!

Five stars.

[acridplacidity3]

i love this piece...am I the only one who finds the beginning so fun and silly!? i just have a great time while listening. and the ending is so over the top! its great!

[Mike754]

i hear ya man, its sounds so goofy, energetic, and fun

[chrisburchardt]

No, friend. I love this piece too!!! So long!!!

[dabigkid]

I love this so much :D

[ewat85]

brilliant

[AllesKlapt]

I can't help hearing a little bit of Montagues & Capulets in this - at the end, especially...

[gogoemphasis]

Can anyone identify the meter(s) in this? Sounds duple, but I need to know the exact time sig...

[MomijiLover93]

it's in 4...

just various tempos

[profpf]

@MomijiLover93

It's not all in 4. There's a large section in 3/4 in the center at 3'17" - 5' 40".

[profpf]

@MomijiLover93 Meter is 3/4 in the middle section.

[sniper2073]

The time signature varies between 4/4, 2/2 at around 2:00 , 3/4 during the middle section at 3:16. It then goes back into 2/4 later on.

[CrystalFlames]

pretty cool!

[alfon87]

I think it's the Ukraine National Symphony Orchestra... I have a record with Kuchar leading and it sounds pretty similar. I'm not sure anyway

[TheWickedNorth]

You are correct..
