This rubbish was published in 1907, so i guess it is Ok to post.

Given that Prokofiev died in 1953, the 70-year rule means he's still regarded as being in copyright at least somewhere, but given also that he was Russian and lived and worked through the times that he did, who knows what his copyright status i or should be in various places?

But that's perhaps a lesser issue here than that of your description of it as "rubbish"; now while I'll openly admit that it is hardly Prokofiev at his best, it's surely not that, Thal?...

Me thought there was 2 rules, 70 years after the death of the composer or 75 years after the publication. There is some Prok in the sheet music section on pianostreets, so i thought it was Ok.

Rubbish is perhaps a harsh word, but harsh is how it sounds to a man trapped in first half of the 19th century and who has no wish to escape.

If you are really trapped there (which I fondly hope is not really the case), the prospect of Prokofiev's Third Sonata must have been like manna from Pianistimo's heaven compared to the two discs of Jonathan Powell playing something by a much later Scots composer dating from the early 1990s through which you chose to put yourself...
