Wiki entry: Sergei Prokofiev
International Music Score Library Project [IMSLP] entry: Sergey Prokofiev
Sergei Prokofiev [1891-1953] was a Russian composer, known for works across a wide range of genres, including orchestral pieces, ballet, concertos and piano pieces. Notoriously, he died on the same day as the Russian dictator, Stalin, which caused problems with his funeral [described by Wiki].

Toccata in D Minor, Op. 11 | MIDI | piano virtuoso | |
This Tokkata [or Toccata] is an early [1912] piece of fiery
virtuosity and fleeting themes. Sequenced in 2020 from the [PD] Urtext edition on IMSLP. This `performance' owes much more to Yuja Wang's than to the no doubt more musical but less electrifying YouTube versions by [eg] Martha Argerich and Vladimir Horowitz. |
