One of the 20th century's most prolific composers of piano music, Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) is celebrated for his unique piano idiom, combining the seemingly incongruous elements of highly percussive textures with passages of great lyrical charm. "Above all," notes Grove's , "his music shows a professional care for the performer, never reaching beyond the practicable limits of execution." Pianists will welcome this excellent new compilation of pieces composed between 1907 and 1922 -- the great formative years of Prokofiev's unique approach to keyboard writing -- from his highly original Diabolical suggestion and the dramatic, capricious Sarcasms to the very popular March and Scherzo transcribed by the composer from his opera The love for three organs . Reproduced from authoritative early editions, this generous collection includes Four ???tudes , Op. 2; Four pieces , Op. 3; excerpts from Four pieces , Op. 4; Toccata , Op. 11; Ten pieces , Op. 12; the complete Sarcasms , Op. 17, and Visions fugitives , Op. 22; Tales of the old grandmother , Op. 31; Four pieces , Op. 32; and the March and Scherzo , Op. 33ter.
