Set of Prokofiev Visions Fugitives

on: July 18, 2008, 08:58:25 PM

I want to do 5 or 6 pieces from the set. I've decided to start with 1 and end with 14. But I'm not sure what to put in the middle. Among others, I like 4, 8, 10, and 18. Do you think this combination would work? If not, any other suggestions?

Thanks!

dear kelly!
i think your set is great. btw, i must say that all combinations of those magnificent pieces seem to work. strange enough, the complete cycle have a great internal coherence.

the only thing i would prefer is to end with a calm one, maybe 18. i understand your desire to have a grand finale but think about prokofiev himself did choose a very quiet and slow end to the cycle (which ends ppp, btw).

anyhow, it's very nice to play and to listen to the visions. go for it!
best!
