Prokofiev S. Old Granny's Tales

As а prominent pianist, most willingly and аbоve all Sergei Prokofiev (1891–1953) would experiment in the genre of piano music. The images found in his piano works, the principles of musical comprehension and the most welcome texture methods can be met in the composer's other works which they color specifically «the piano way». Chaste and frail lyrical images, slight toccato features, occuring tornados of somewhat urban rhythm and ironic classic introduction — that's what sets up the newness of means of expression, and it was in Prokofiev's piano music the first time they emerged.

The album includes the Old Granny Tales cycle (1918).
