Music can play the part of a Rorschach inkblot. I have enjoyed reading through the various interpretations of this work. For me it speaks about the captains of industry and a brave new world, before the reality really hits us.

This used to be a opening theme to a TV program in the early fifties. That's how I
learn to love classical by the TV shows that played them.

@AmandalaWill: That's a good comparison. My sightings are of the grim past of mankind, the eternal suffering through all times — it's at the same time 19th century death, as it's also a thousand years ago and the present day — and as of the World war: the merciless tanks thundering over the frozen wastes of the Russian thundra.

Tenor saxophone is scored throughout the entire work, but it just sticks out here because Prokofiev wrote the solo to start on a low C#, which is a very difficult note to play gracefully and this particular saxophonist did a pretty shitty job of it.

can you tell me the min when you figured this out? I cannot hear it through the horns...



This is a masterpiece. Unfortunately someone got a "great" idea of placing a guy/girl with a fuckin` "sax". Why? WHYYY!?
