The face of Prokofiev, Prokofiev's face to face

 Prokofiev face to face to face Prokofiev Prokofiev
mm from the few works about
Prokofiev, Sergey Sergeyevich Prokofiev.
In 1891, he was a small city in Ukraine today, born, and Enron to accept the music elementary education, 62 years after he died in Moscow in a larger city in mm, and the atmosphere there was extremely strange.
years only 9 years old he wrote his first opera, in such a young age to write the first opera composer Another, that is Mozart. But Mozart at least at the time feel that is pleasing on the ears, and how much he allows the music world was harsh spicy.
his revolution in 1917 when the left this vast land is also close to the crisis, but back in 1932, into shift change when the creation of an intriguing silence by the Soviet Union engaged in the hh
the assumptions, this concept entirely from the Soviet composer who works in the dark layer of understanding. political guidelines on the art of the great pursuit of art seems a bit it is pediatrics, the so-called These do not really see the light, so work will interesting, stupidity continues, and crevice in order to survive in this era, a number of unusual flowers accompanied by vigorous guns actually music to a new area with them, we see that under the test of the political art of the real, the true power of Art .
If this comes to the art of specific artists who suffered, I think the first half of last century, the Soviet Union, it no shortage of such wonderful characters.
that the Soviet Union, not as specific, is this Russian mm it does not appear in West Asia and Europe on both sides of the continent is not the East. I had no trace of goodwill on Russian music, because the body in the Tchaikovsky, because in addition to sorrow, his music does not give others a sense of participation. But things In the Shostakovich, where a shift in which the Soviet Union because of doping, doping the fuck politics. but also because of Shostakovich, I almost had the impression that Soviet musicians certainly such a His music is better than Shostakovich, but one can not go from the consideration of the deep meaning of art works of the era, it seems that we should try to think in a different state of mind: that art is standing as an expert at any time great man and a dead man on a tightrope. a very important fact is that they all have tremendous talent and an opportunity to meet people admired the point, but unfortunately the political Shostakovich late into the depths of human nature, a road unknown vocabulary covers his life, it is interesting. and Prokofiev, in the face test, he took out not related to the attitude of trouble, as His face wore glasses, and his late despite being surrounded by the Soviet Union's political, but the musical vocabulary is still pure. the threat of political chaos and did not see in him a straight Ru Gusui itch, and only occasionally see the pain of flogging flesh .
the following four works that I only say that I am for Prokofiev's humble opinion. It is just four works are two piano concertos, two symphonies, and they happen to be composers of similar works number for the first, fifth work. Of course, numbers alone do not mean anything, but I read the lives of Prokofiev exactly when they read during the creation of these works, which are created during the four piece they just have the same rank, so we started to write it with interest. In this statement, I Prokofiev people are not fully aware of this, the following text is only my personal works of these composers views, I hope not to cause any acquaintance who know the person's misunderstanding, and hope for composers who are well informed advice.
First Piano Concerto, descending D major, for years in 1911-12 , Op.10
back to 1911, let's take a look at the students who are drama called he wrote his first piano concerto. His talent is recognized as the piano, the composer also ability to surprise the teachers. but just relying on a number of solo piano works, he ultimately was not a home, and the piano concerto is just one of their proven ability to compose.
year later, the world first heard in the music room of his views on the piano and orchestra, and his attitude to modern music. This work The premiere attracted the two voices. one side is a camel as a ghost cry, vowing to this music out of concert halls; side of a camel is like a ghost cry, cry out to finally meet the genius.
I fully share the view that although Prokofiev in his lifetime and even now considered the new century, the harsh representative of modern music, but today's state of mind to listen to his works, his works remain with classical atmosphere, whether in the form or the melody of development and external appearance, he did not out of the idea of classical music, still the shackles of classical music, but the nature of his music is still wonderful works seeped in his escape with the melody of his return to the kind of clues. First Piano Concerto and First Symphony can do quite a lot of evidence. Although you can use early works have not yet reflected in its mature excuse to explain his simple, but many of the works in the composer's melodic late appearance does sustainable development works, and he did not throw away those dependent on inner feelings (rather than the technical score ) to develop ways of writing the melody.
melody in the band this work is that the application of several piano concertos in the most simple, did not show too much like those wonderful irony of the later vocabulary. in these inflammatory The rising melody, a young man on the new form of musical exploration for Piano and Orchestra in a warm desire to release the. When the piano there at the moment, seems to constitute an indication, this indicates that Prokofiev's piano students He is expected to begin to create new glories. a want to break free from the original system, the power of a Let the whole work began to appear on the composer at the piano concerto strange appearance.
piano composer of the musical form is always the master, even though the composer himself has said he will save it back to the piano in the band the identity of the percussion, so the piano concerto in his works show a split step too much like a short sound. but his work is not the melody of the piano as percussion to convey the sense of the term literally, in general, it not only in the rhythm of the beat, on the contrary, Prokofiev and orderly manner all of these beat-induced waves of string melody with protrusions. Although this concerto movement with a short single-form tone poem-like writing, but the piano rotation of ups and downs with the band several times so that the whole work may seem compact and colorful. at the end of the beginning of the theme tune for the development of the layer into the end it was very vigorous and effective.
full of young people in the power of this work can clearly see the body Writing to the typical features of the composer: On the distribution of the sound, the role is clear, lively and vivid. in the piano works are all motivated by the rhythm and orchestration to complete the dialogue, the melody notes broken by the short form, and fully He embodies in his mouth, but no shortage of hot ideas in particular.
By this time, the creation of this masterpiece of the young man has not yet graduated from the St. Petersburg Conservatory, the Central Government has not yet been locked in, as they promote the protagonist . At this time, he has a lot of time to focus on looking for new export of new technologies, the field of music in a new language used in the flow of emotions. People have not voted to go to his ; vision. for his works, many of the comments given to the reproach and slander. But in the beginning of the 20th century, we are pleased to see the growth of the audience, because after all, in the premiere of his Second Piano Concerto, the one bit commentators raised the view: graduation exam in 1914 concert, also this work, as he won the first prize and gained a valuable piano. For this young man, Rimsky - Korsakov, in his given such a thesis reviews: the status of the Western music world.
First Symphony, people to listen to before you look at Prokofiev biography of such a passage, it will make your listening experience in a lot more wonderful things. will retain their own writing style, while the adoption of some new content. I want to create is such a symphony: a symphony of classical styles. And when this work smoothly written, I take it changed to the classical l r. Symphony because the first: it was so easy, then, out of mischief, that is, some people deliberately teasing, I secretly hope that if this really is like the classical symphony, then even if I win. ; This is the Prokofiev, this is a masterpiece of humor in 1917 monologue, which is the melody of Prokofiev's important tone for a lifetime. He then successfully reproduced the classical symphony music school period, and those elegant dance of rich melody gesture. How fresh the Classical Symphony ah.
I try to remember I am familiar with the structure of classical symphony and melody types of writing, but the recall is often in a familiar atmosphere is a power interruption, this work actually began in the My brain show different scenery. so genius camel Prokofiev melody writing techniques with a new prop up the original appearance of the classical symphony. The new style variations, the development of new lines, new tonality run, the new dissonance, but well-known classical distributed atmosphere. this attempt, this revolutionary work in the music of the period have appeared several times before, but this was more Prokofiev can be said is wonderful too. Although it can not be as accessible a brilliant artistic masterpiece of human nature, but such behavior is sufficient for it to be included in a genius of the 20th century boutique, and even wider range of music quality.
this works in the creative direction of the composer's life is not temporary, it is definitely a continuation, and is a continuation of a long time. After experiencing life abroad and returned to the motherland, he still will be the creation of this with the breath of life kept, expectations to the development of new technologies such as the Classical Music Period desire that the joy of classical architecture remains unabated .1936 creation of has added a letter in the music of the new melodies, but it seems from its performance so far, none of them wonderful people on the application of dissonance to do to refer to. It seems people have completely forgotten this new classic has been ; security , several groups of the new tonality suddenly was born, and allow people to recklessness. Prokofiev wonderful place is: a completely familiar with his stance to face the writing techniques of classical symphony and melody with a genius-like understanding of the Haydn, Mozart created the classical era rise to the classical form of the spirit, and to gain the release of such spiritual well-known in his new techniques in the same. So, a new technique is no longer a radical technique, is no longer the exclusive techniques difficult to understand. because from the inside Music born of the impulse is the bold application of the driving force behind the behavior of tonality, combined with the composer in the form of intentionally retro melody imitate the voice of the ears became a game, the game also with a new world of music pleased.
Prokofiev's life, but as this work is not generally make his own joy. Indeed, repeated ear I saw the true nature of many of the composer. but as long as the nature of the melody a little dark color, a little movement of Soviet politics, those works became the theme tune in the late symphonies. and when he is not the Soviet Union's home, I believe we see Prokofiev music of Mozart will be the new type of character. but for then a Mozart, Prokofiev to that one. because not only because of personality, personality In each person there is always repeated clips. The reason is that time is the time to minutes and seconds do not duplicate each person given a different experience to build their character.
1918 years, this successful works in his own under the command of debut, he should be safe to accept the Russian people that they have issued such a genius and praise. But then, he has appeared in New York, a city filled with jazz melodies. he played his own works the identity of the pianist began life in the United States, he began to look forward to greater success, hope their music can be in the larger context of communication and recognition. In addition to the United States, his expedition also includes Japan, France, Britain, Germany, Belgium, Italy and Spain. He staged his opera conductor, symphony, he met many modern musicians. He began to have international reputation, a new creation, a new audience. He work began to have different voices, I'm not familiar with the voice. He is not in these years are not income, is not without progress, but progress in areas such as breakthrough less difficult to work into the whole. I always feel I have the impression to the character of Prokofiev, he should be living in France. But it seems there is also a miss melody, who created it needs to find its share of the initial impetus to toggle back to the flow of feeling.
1932, he returned to accept a Soviet elites to establish their own good and out of the attracted him favorable treatment. The majority of the article record, he voluntarily go back, and clearly expressed that the communist regime. In fact, if the artist in the face of their own life too much choice taking into account the political, then politics must use you, your life is made more confusing. But fortunately, this mouthful of Prokofiev political world is still performed their own entertainment, at home after the creation Some works are even more out of his music reflects the kind of pure pursuit.
Fifth Piano Concerto, G major, for the 1931-32 years, Op.55
1932, he appeared in Russia rather than Paris, New York, this is not completely short of returning it back to his point of departure. just in that year, he created in his life the last piano concerto, when he was 41 years old, started going to the years, had just ushered in another round of his creative peak. very strange, although the piano is his strength, but then he does not re-written such works. was a pity that, on the piano concerto, I work in this found and expectations, many of Prokofiev I think it is possible to create could not be completed to continue. He shall have the opportunity to explore more of this piano and band music echoed.
Another point is interesting. and his first piano concerto than the feeling of this concerto to me is that it seems more fresh color, more vitality of the young. In contrast, the First Piano Concerto installed like a slightly aging and Di young people describe the > should be said that in foreign countries these days he is attracting a lot of music at the advanced experience of the world, with a progressive face of the music, the theme has become more abundant melody way out as the river opened up and started a number of directions De surging. exotic melody in this work can be seen everywhere, listen carefully these can appear messy beating in the piano found under a lot of familiar melodies by composer absorbed the dance came. Jazz music of the results can be seen everywhere, all these years Prokofiev knowledge of those in foreign countries, many of musical life in a foreign land was incorporated into this piece of piano melody full of works. seems to be very prominent piano into a mouth, or a lively expression, about the owner of 15 years in a foreign country to hear, feel, get all the new melodies. I had a few or even a piano as it travels in time.
the beginning of the whole song is led by a full piano, piano and relationship between the band master and slave, but also seems to reach an equal volume. And I felt a familiar melody, memory up to find that the tune is similar to the taste of American composer Gershwin, especially in the string Band on piano and played the main paragraph. This is the U.S. section of the road now, before your eyes are not the same people, different views in front of the shuttle. you can not find the end result of the piano melody, but inexplicably find yourself moment of melodic themes carved in touch.
the next second, third movement, rhythm, begin to work a genius. filled with some kind of motivation is always clear to the jump. If the first kind by the symphony historical roots and the hair is a respect for innovation, now seems to be more self-contained Prokofiev sent to the strength and momentum of the power of new music to play. These two movements, short, speed up, but you and in its internal can not describe it lively. in which is less than with the words in the text by hitting the inner and outer walls of isolation, the piano at the moment seems to have something without words.
but I have also discovered new music composers in order to maintain unique appearance, while the musical point to increasingly ignored, all from the bottom of all the wonderful music brought a new fascination with new conflicts. And so I can continue to enjoy all thanks to advanced heart the fourth movement. These humorous the fourth type of conflict to the slow movement was extend to the performance of string, because of the connection string sound and a sudden elongation of its momentum, and only the catalyst in this string, the piano only slowly in the movement Static light to begin with the words of the voice of the inner channel out, and then is not such as closing the particles in the nucleus as being affected by outside forces and wildly nowhere to release. the piano in the heart of the discourse could not stuffy like the solitude of the heart, in a string appear under the weight of nearly a general statement of Shostakovich, the music should the statement at a later stage add more external pressures, it is likely that the few words: is beyond me, let you use the fate of rivals like power to abuse, let you use the system to violate ridiculous mess may come but not for me to control my laughter. and I laughed in my genius The music is so accurate and profound meaning. even more intense. As for the Prokofiev, the music is more a loneliness lost. This happens to be mapping the expression of the external political situation and the exact language of the wonderful music. It seems to be a hidden, it seems to be a casual creation of something for free. And to my Prokofiev view, even if the music seems to convey a certain emotion is hidden, or maybe should not be called deliberately hidden. Prokofiev may not even know he was in 1932, the choice is right or wrong, he might just by with some of the pros and cons of treatment, with the understanding by the public as it should be patriotic act is back. But for those who may be the formation of the new tonality in music to form their own opinion on others the effect has become a Puluo Ke Feiye Fu in the insinuation of evidence. I think this music should be understood as a more true reflection of nature, as the composer born sensitive insight, making him put pen to paper in the music so much, When he tried to find a rhythm all his pieces to integrate and develop a structure can be used outside audio announcement, he may take into account what he considered the United States, and did not care about over to meet him back in the Soviet Union would how to think. and in my opinion, this works more like a creation of foreign life, a summary of work experience, its acoustic sound and full of fun.
in my listening experience, Pu Luoke Fei Yefu later works filled with non-, true and false confusion, and this kind of confusion in his remarkable new creative melody to become a concept of effects and strange personality so I think he does not seem to focus on art in the light of human nature, I think he is probably a pain-free under the political shadow of the urchin. but his works are untitled compared with Shostakovich A similar metaphor is only my temporary misunderstanding melody it? and then, or has been gifted to Prokofiev to hide a deep inner invisible? so confused and I was thrown out, and he refers to in the next virtuoso performers Smart remains the same, no way to Shaw's attitude to create a brilliant lie language. However, the next number of the Fifth Symphony broke my understanding, inner strength is so straightforward and reveal for the first time for me to his music , of him who has a new Discovery.
Fifth Symphony, descending B-flat, as in 1944, Op.100
return to their country, to encourage their enthusiasm back to nation genius of land, Prokofiev found a really respect, status, convenience and creative passion. and creative passion is the largest source of war, a crisis in his eyes to the whole state of war by the European deep extends over. This crisis forces unit with a bloody red and matt black, in approaching the moment of Leningrad the people aroused the greatest enthusiasm and that enthusiasm may not be said to be from the heart, and should be accurate to say from the bottom of instinct. People instinctively united together, instinctively picked up the gun, instinct for doing all the offensive things to do. There are also red, is an angry red, fire-roasted red , there are also black, it is difficult to rehabilitation of the historical ruins. But from this city do not care about black people have, and they threw himself toward the can find a red light in his go. when most artists possible choice is to praise, praise over and over again, the hope of victory sounded, the desire for a strong force into the majestic string in the footsteps of the soldiers riding in a solid rumble of timpani rhythm. Each no idle a musician, every Soviet musicians have for their history of experience in this composed a representative. And the government will not ignore these artists without guns, Shostakovich was pushed to the front, are treated as outstanding representatives of the nation pushed to the front of the world. And the Nazis during the same period as the poor to put their best race of Beethoven representatives pushed to the front of the world. in the Soviet Union, Shostakovich, the general Kofi Aliyev and other representatives of the new century musicians seem to bear to some extent created by the government, and Beethoven and other great German musical tradition of the struggle burden. but Beethoven's early death, the so-called Out of sight out of mind, you can The Soviet composer to be done? Although this still is against the ugly elected owed by the Nazis, how an artist can be quite objective in this work under the gaze of liking it? interesting things, but again, Prokofiev I saw him again on the stubborn .1944 music created this symphony in fact, the genre of war altogether, here are his eyes all the magnificent scenes, rendered in red. But in this kind of work, and did not relate to Writing is simply the war appeared faint, ethnic dance and live in the wonderful melody of the symphony in his. active in different roles in the melody of this work, I personally feel that the expectation of new music even more than victory on the War even greater expectations, and the composer, the expectations of the art of music and efforts to more far-reaching significance.
this work into the war, reflects the war (at least recognized composers such and critics such publicity has been significant). Indeed, from the first movement there will be some smoke into the atmosphere from becoming, flute strings for the next heavy curtain opened to the protest, when the band music and percussion wantonly enter when the screen becomes a quiet scene activities, such as the vision of the film camera, it looked as if the crowd in the air in the city during the war to defend the victory of .1944 of a step by step the battlefield in the summer, the Soviet Union has Start the upper hand, a surge of persistent efforts of the offensive momentum in the search for full freedom of victory in the red. Prokofiev reflected in this war situation, the mentality of the movement of people the first time in the war so clearly the successfully expressed. It should be said that is an inevitable theme in such a situation, the most direct source of the creation of which side is letting the people of the war situation had to be born. People are all in the yearning to own troops victory, eager to let his army from the fall of the motherland. If all the passion Which musicians have devoted their military victory in encouraging, then there is no doubt that patriotism will be sought in the present. But it will only sings the praises of the composer is of a temporary flame, such as the barrel of a gun bullet in the history of the music whizzed it. but some composers still killing time in this very sad at the fate of mankind as a whole, sigh of human civilization catastrophe for all of the dead rather than just write notes to emphasize his side victory. Prokofiev in the latter case, the kind of shape to break the power of dark forces and the formation of this struggle all the damage scenarios included in this first movement. It is magnificent, magnificent non-blind; it sad, not sink to sentimentality. Prokofiev let me see here for the first time to his music can bring heavy, for the first time Let me insight into his sense of history in dealing with such a time has the skills would be the same.
be next? how the second movement be going children? those exotic dance rhythms that? or the subject of war ? is the secret camp? is the Emergency Unit at the break? a sniper in the prudent action?, of course, music can still smell the smell of war, but you would think that with the first movement with some of the conflict in a work where, how a? it completely wrong, the most important war fighting and victory scenes to do with representation. This is the Prokofiev, if the government feel that you have to decide you should do something for the Soviets, so good, I do that is ( sometimes have to do.) The first movement, but to you, and it needs to meet your seasonal, but also have to have my understanding of the war. to the second movement, you will bugger me, I started to my vocabulary, I started laughing. Look at the second movement, when the string is the guard play of a section of meniscus bayonets, band music, when the officer opened jokes joke of a sentence, while the percussion is this one pieces add to the fun atmosphere of the scene for the humor of soldiers. I gradually began to tense up, there are the enemy? to the more tense atmosphere which played the more concentrated, the second movement stopped, it seems that this battle was not any fighting. In the second movement, the Prokofiev seems to tell people: my life is indeed a war, indeed there was a thrilling battle to defend life, but I was relaxed in the Al-Hayat on to aspire to. I'm not that great war situation concern, as long as we can find a peace and tranquility I will support, but I will not be interested in the killings. movement into a light, with joy, may you'd hear the melody of war-torn humor in the movement What is the end of the end, I not only of Prokofiev who win the battles.
war situation really began to tilt toward the Soviet side, can the people's blood, the tears of the people are still flowing, but as long as all this not the end, this all the more cruel the more flow. fiercest assault in red behind the smoke gradually, the people are boring to cough a few times and push in front of dark, dark into the eyes of a greater . the city is not the city, the living breath of the living have not see, if they survive is to watch their loved ones to become not a human form of the dead. came one after such a battle cry. may in the end who won? is a soldier who lost loved ones? the loss of loved ones of soldiers? or watching the old ruins and never see a better survivors? not No one victory, the only good news is that all this is over, we can reduce the bleeding and how much more pleased. But then the world is that we do not know, is a settled street do not know how it is I do not know how the joy of life. I think this is the symphony's third movement of this scene is such a pain. This movement is running to give me this scenario: the band's bass is a step, A step in the ruins on the steps. Alto area seems to be suddenly lyrical passages distinguish a corner I came to know, remember some peace in the past. When the melody into the high register, the brain is in front of the beautiful memories miserable as to break into a dull sorrow.  Aliyev in this movement tell the facts of war, war is fierce, but the war is also mentioned here so I'm bitter. victory is not in return only the cheers, there are indescribable pain.
If this is a symphony of war, then the political situation in that, it is bound to move towards the end of depicting the victory. can be heard this symphony Song of people all fairness, you find the end of this kind of
