Does anyone know of a good book or something that discusses Prokofiev's piano works in some detail?

You will find it much  more rewarding.

Sure grab the scores, but I think it is helpful to read more than the scores.  If you have a music library nearby, look in Diamond to see what articles you can spot, and by all mean get a few biographies.

THere are also a few recordings of Prokofiev himself, which are revealing, I think.

Hi. I  am new here, so hope I have this right. I wrote a dissertation on Prokoviev piano sonatas way back in time at Uni. Am wondering what sort of info you were after.  :-\
