This performance of the Prokofiev Piano Concerto No 2 ranks among the greatest classical music performances of all time.

I played the 1st mvmt on my music exam when I was 18 y/o (though I did have to leave out the 4 scale measures at 1:36 because my teacher had given me scale tips and fingerings that turned out to be completely wrong) and the 3rd mvmt when I was 23, and the 3rd is easier than the 1st.

Do you guys actually enjoy listening to this? I think this is one of the best example on how difficult music is not necessarily good music. For instance, do you guys honestly think that you would save his music in your youtube playlist and, like, actually listen to it in the future? While I acknowledge the awe of difficulty and mastery can be enjoying.... there can also be a separate component of unproductive elitism and pretentiousness of "sophisticated taste", when it comes to a person declaring that it loves a difficult musics piece. If one can drop this pretentiousness (while the awe of mastery is still fine), I feel like most people won't really enjoy this music piece. Although I acknowledge how people's taste in music can be very different.... if a person never acknowledge a single difficult musics piece to be "difficult but bad", then I think there is a very good chance that that person is blinded by this unproductive elitism and pretentiousness of "sophisticated taste"

[@ashercaplan3254]

[@christianvennemann9008]

@RestlessTheRED While we sadly won't know what the original sounded like due to the score's destruction before recording was more advanced, even when writing the original, Prokofiev was depressed because one of his friends from the St. Petersburg Conservatory committed suicide. Perhaps, while writing this revision, he once again thought about that and the other subsequent events that had taken place.

[@thejils1669]

The first movement of the Prokovief PC2, just like the Brahms' 1st, mvt1 (octave trills), is truly revolutionary. When Beethoven wrote thematic material, he always relied on chordal progressions (don't believe me...look at the opening bars of his PC3...a straight C minor chord is right there). The thematic material for the Prokovief PC2 is so simple and unassuming you really wonder where its going...but, at the same time, it's catchy and memorable...only to fade without absolute resolution into the triplet opening bars of the piano as an introduction to its main theme. Then, the ending of the piano cadenza just propels the music into this apocalyptic orchestral tutti playing as forte as humanily possible the opening theme, this time with a definitive tonic resolution...all leading to the very humbled piano triplet and opening theme which just fades away into oblivion...pure genius! There's got to be a philosophical message embedded in there somewhere.
