“In every fugitive vision I see worlds,
\nfull of the changing play of rainbow hues…”<\/em>
\nKonstantin Balmont<\/p>\n

\"\"

Sergey Prokofiev (1891-1953)<\/p><\/div>\n

Visions Fugitives (fleeting visions) by Sergey Prokofiev is a set of pieces based on a poem written by Russian poet Konstantin Balmont. They were composed between 1915 and 1917 and premiered by Prokofiev on April 15, 1918 in Petrograd, Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

The pieces, though far from atonal, contain dissonant harmonies similar in nature of music composed by Prokofiev’s contemporaries (Schoenberg and Scriabin), although still retaining highly original concepts in both tonality and rhythm.<\/p>\n

In 2007 the modern Jazz ensemble “Quartetski Does Prokofiev” released a CD which in a unique way captures the spontaneous spirit of these pieces. Listen to some free samples here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The five Sarcasms (opus 17) are percussive pieces with considerable rhythmic motion.\u00a0 They storm, rage and thunder throughout.<\/p>\n
