Prokofiev's Piano Sonata No. 1 in F minor, Op. 1 is a fiery, single-movement declaration of war against the 19th century. While it drips with the moody, Late-Romantic grandiosity of Rachmaninoff, it is electrified by the restless, percussive energy that would soon become Prokofiev's signature. It is a compact powerhouse of virtuosity, blending lush melodic sweep with aggressive, "wrong-note" chromaticism to capture the exact moment a young rebel began to tear the classical rulebook apart.
This edition is a reissue of music originally published by Muzgiz, Moscow.
