Sonata

Sonata No.1 – Sergei Prokofiev

Piano played by Dr. Tony Karam

Each painting comes with a CD containing the full version of the music which inspired it.

Composed when Prokofiev was 19 years old, this single movement Sonata captures the genius of a composer who in later years placed his mark on the musical scene to be one of the most technically challenging composers of the 20^th century.

One can hear the beautiful melody across the Sonata and one cannot but admire the difficulty imposed on every finger to hit the keyboard.

A piece that is rarely played in concert comes to life as it pays tribute to a city, intricate in its nature, and young in its ability to revolt and build and rebuild facing all the complexities of the modern times.
