Sontsovka's Stupendous Sergey Prokofiev Prokofiev was born in Sontsovka in 1891 and died in Moscow in 1953. This Russian composer was engaged in piano lessons at the age of three and had composed his own opera by the age of nine! Prior to entering the St. Petersburg Conservatory in 1904, he was taught by Glière (1902). During his conservatory studies, Sergey was taught orchestration by Rimsky-Korsakov. Some early highlights in Prokofiev’s life included meeting and being commissioned by Diaghilev (1914), the completion of his first symphony (1917) and departing to the United States (1918). Prokofiev’s
music style is still unique in many ways including his use of wit,
harmonic innovation and melodic flair. Two of his most popular works
today are his ballet, Romeo and Juliet (1935) and Peter and the
Wolf (1936). An Amazing Prokofiev Fact Prokofiev’s
death was overshadowed by the passing of Josef Stalin. They both
died on March 5th, 1953.
