Prokofiev, Sergei

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.
