Sergei Prokofiev (23 April [recte 27] 1891 – 5 March 1953) was  Soviet Russian pianist, composer, and conductor. (NB. He believed his birthday to be April 23rd, but it was discovered after his death, that he was actually born on the 27th.]

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part of the Job


One can’t be a pianist of note

Unless one takes time to devote

Your practice room sweat

To the challenges met

In the sonatas Prokofiev wrote.
