Sergei Prokof'ev. Solnechnyi genii - Marina Nest'eva

This book is about the life and work of Sergei Prokofiev, one of the outstanding composers of the last century and the founders of the Russian-Soviet composer school. A student of Roman-Korsakov and Lyadov, he was an early student of outdated traditions and canons in classical music.
Sergei Prokofiev belonged to that galaxy of creators who created new music according to their own rules, where each work is imbued with depth and strength of feelings of his own attitude.
