Week 18 Sergei Prokofiev Sonata in C for two violins, Opus 56 Prokofiev had to a considerable extent lived down his youthful reputation as an enfant terrible by 1932, when he came to compose this sonata. Indeed, he had eagerly accepted the challenge of writing music that would speak to a broad audience, and he was thus delighted to be asked to write music for the film Lieutenant Kije, which he later turned into a popular concert suite. It was at this time, and with such artistic concerns, that he turned to writing a substantial work for two violins, which was to be premiered in Paris. Prokofiev's own memoirs tell the amusing tale: A society called the Triton" had been formed in Paris for the performance of new chamber music Honegger, Milhaud, Poulenc, myself and others joined it. Listening to bad music sometimes inspires good ideas. 'That's not the way to do it," one tells oneself, "it should be done this way." That is how I happened to write my sonata for two violins.

  • At Age Seventeen, in the Summer of 1966 and Right After High School, I
    MASTERS AND MENTORS OF THE PIANO: An account by Claudia Stevens of her piano study with major piano teachers and leading performing artists of the second half of the twentieth century, 1966- 1981 In the summer of 1966, right after high school, I came to San Francisco to study piano with the Hungarian virtuoso and recording artist Istvan Nadas, then a professor of piano at San Francisco State College. I had just turned seventeen. My first teacher had been my mother, followed later by a teacher in my home town of Redding, California. I was used to learning pieces by ear, imitating recordings, and improvising fingerings. I had not yet acquired discipline, either in accurate reading of a musical score, solving of technical problems, or in efficient use of practice time. I was also quite rough technically, playing pieces far too difficult for me. Mr. Nadas told me, quite correctly, that I would need to abandon those pieces (such as the “Waldstein” Sonata and the Tchaikovsky Concerto) for the time being, and he chose a number of contrasting works for me to study and prepare. I remember thinking these would be too easy, but soon discovered otherwise. The repertoire included Beethoven's Sonata Op. 31, no. 1, several Brahms Intermezzi and Bach Preludes and Fugues. Mr. Nadas did not assign etudes, insist on scales, or suggest a technical regimen, but he emphasized that, at this level of study, one must practice at least three hours a day. This was my first experience with a teacher who took me seriously, and did not merely indulge me.
