	N. Myaskovsky » Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953)
		Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev was born on 23 April 1891 on a remote country estate called Sontsovka, near the Ukrainian town of Yekaterinoslav (today Dnepropetrovsk) to a middle class family (his father was the estate manager).
		Prokofiev took his entry exams in front of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Glazounov, and Anatoly Lyadov in the fall of 1904 and was the youngest student ever to be admitted.
		At the conservatory, Sergei was a difficult student—an “enfant terrible”-- who did not fit in as he thought his talents far superior to his classmates, and his skills, ambition and mischievousness often landed him in trouble.

	Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev

		While Prokofiev was pleased with the premiere, the concerto went unplayed by other pianists until it was championed by the brilliant young Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter almost a decade later in the 1940s.
		Prokofiev conducted the premiere of the Fifth in Moscow on 13th January 1945, on the eve of the Allied victory in the War.

	Featured Composer SERGEI SERGEYEVICH PROKOFIEV
		The transformation of Sergei Prokofiev from the enfant terrible of the Russian and European avant garde to a composer of conservative, tonal, often melodious scores spans five decades, two continents, social and political upheavals, and bureaucratic control of the arts.
		Prokofiev considered his First Piano concerto to be his "first more or less mature composition as regards to conception and fulfillment." The score's musical sweep and pianistic complexities were clearly the work of an "original" creative mind.
		Significantly, Prokofiev's co-librettist on "The Duenna" was the poet Mira Mendelssohn.
