Piano Concerto No. 3

Composers:
  • Prokofiev, Sergei
Detailed Instrumentation: Solo Piano and Piano Accompaniment
Duration: 30
Description:

PIANO CONCERTO No. 3 in C major, Op. 26 was completed in 1921 using a theme and variations Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) had sketched in 1913. While he revisited the sketches in 1916–17, he fully devoted himself to this concerto during his 1921 summer holiday in Brittany, saying "I already had all the thematic material I needed except for the third theme of the finale and the subordinate theme of the first movement." PIANO CONCERTO No. 3 premiered on December 16, 1921 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Frederick Stock and Prokofiev playing the solo. The work was not an immediate success until a 1922 performance in Paris conducted by Serge Koussevitzky, confirming this work in the 20th century canon. Pno Solo: 2(2dPicc).2.2.2: 4.2.2+BTbn.0: Timp.Perc(1-2): Str.
