Amazon Review
In this first comprehensive analytical study of the music of Sergei Prokofiev, Minturn sets the prolific Russian composer`s work in historical, cultural, and biographical contexts. He examines a variety of Prokofiev`s compositions for piano, orchestra, chamber ensembles, and voice from a sophisticated theoretical point of view and finds throughout these works an enduring central theme of the interplay between tradition and innovation.
