Rach was great, but I'd say the better composer was Prokofiev. Prok wrote masterpieces in pretty much every medium: violin concerto no 1/2, piano concerto 2/3, Chout, Scythian Suite, Symphony no. 1/5, Romeo and Juliet, and a piano Sonata cycle to rival Scriabin and Beethoven. His outputs range from Peter and the Wolf's innocence to Symphony no 2's complexity, and from the exuberant joy of Piano Concerto 1 to the apocalyptic Piano sonata 6. For me, there's no greater composer than Prokofiev.

@BrackenClelk i could not have said it better myself!

Prokofiev is awesome, but nothing is better than Medtner for 20th century solo piano.

@BrackenClelk add to that: incredible ballet music, incredibly avant-gard piano pieces (other than the sonatas, the visions fugitives, the op.4, the etudes) amazing film scoring, and a wonderfully loveable first symphony. However, in what comes to me, i would give the crown to Stravinsky...

@toknywpie What school do you go to? And who's your piano teacher? I'm thinking of playing this piece,

@toknywpie130 Hey can you guys stop going on about how great you are? Discuss this stuff with your teachers, and your teachers alone fools.

p.s. if you're doing this repertoire and you plan on playing it to a high standard you need 3 hours most days at the very least. You don't practise enough to be a good performer.
