Prokofiev

Neste vídeo raro de Sergei Prokofiev, podemos ver o compositor a tocar piano e a ser entrevistado sobre o que o ocupava em termos de composição na altura (por volta de 1946).

Aqui fica a tradução em inglês do que é dito no vídeo:

- "Sergei Sergeevich, maybe you will tell our viewers about your work?"

- "Well, right now I am working on a symphonic suite of waltzes, which will include three waltzes from Cinderella, two waltzes from the War and Peace, and one waltz from the movie score "Lermontov." [The War and Peace] has just been brilliantly produced in Leningrad, where the composer Chishko made an especially noteworthy appearance as a tenor, giving a superb performance in the role of Pierre Bezukhoff. Besides this suite, I am working on a sonata for violin and piano [no.1 in f minor], upon completion of which I will resume work on the sixth symphony, which I had started last year. I have just completed three suites from the Cinderella ballet and I am now turning the score over to copyists for writing the parts, so that most likely the suites will already be performed at the beginning of the fall season."
