My first reaction to this video: "What is this ugly music...the harmonies do nto make sense what so ever. How can this be labeled as Prokofiev"

My reaction 3 months later: I now have added this to my favorites, bought tickets to a concert that specifiably have this sonata in the program, I have bought the sheet music, and hope to learn it one day.

Words cannot describe the beauty of this piece. Love it. Thank you.

I can't believe that actually you can dislike prokofiev .I really can't find even an absurd reason to dislike this

Magnificent prokofiev is amazing. I love the 4th augmented as the bass octaves. I might try to make a song like this as an homenage to prokofiev.

Well

@rafaelb1026 Prokofiev was a towering genius. Where do I even start? Listen to Ashkenazy's rendition of the third movement of Piano Concerto 2. You will get a sense of the grotesque power and anguish juxtaposed with beauty and delicacy this composer had- but also, extremely sarcastic and impish. He takes you to distant times and places in history with his many voices. My impression of Prok is a sneering figure who generated unspeakable beauty, ambrosia in the trap of his mockery.

@EatYourBeans They actually lived and died within ten years from each other. Its interesting to compare how one fastidiously avoided copying the other.

@rafaelb1026 I have spent alot of time trying to understand exactly how he wrote such intricate, strange, and yet incredibly SATISFYING pieces. I don't know many composers who are able to write such great works out of chords that are so seemingly ugly and jarring. I really love the way he is able to voice melodies using creative orchestration. He uses really jazzy chords sometimes in his concertos that make me wonder how jazz music didnt appear earlier. Be sure to check out prokofiev(dot)org!

@randomprimate I'm listening to his Symphony 1 right now I really like it, it's really growing on me , what else should I know about Prokofiev ?

[randomprimate]

@rafaelb1026 ohhhh man first prokofiev piece? you are at the beginning of a wonderful relationship. I have a bit of an obsession with prokofiev. My favorites are symphonies 1, 3, and 5; Piano concertos 1, 2 and,3; Romeo and Juliets 'dance with mandolins;' anything from his visions fugitives, "tales of the old grandmother number 2," his etudes, suggestion diabolique.....and of course every sonata he ever wrote (specifically number 3, and number 4, movements 1 and 3). Thats just a start!

@Martel211996 haha, how did you make the transition from hating it to loving it? I'm listening to this piece for the first time right now and it just sounds like random gibberish without melodies like you said.
