CINDERELLA, composed by Serguei Prokofiev :
Serguei Prokofiev was born on April, 27th, 1891 in Sontvoka (Ukraine).Very soon his mother taught him piano. At 6 years old, like Mozart, some believed he was a virtuoso, he had already writen short pieces. At 9, he wrote his first opera for children : ‘The Giant’. Three other operas would rapidly follow. In 1904, Serguei Prokofiev entered the Saint-Petersburgh conservatry. He surprised his teacher Nikolaï Rimski- Korsakov, by the strengh and ardour of his playing. In 1914, he graduated from the school thanks to his Concerto for piano o1 and received the Anton price awarded to writers and composers. During the October Revolution, Serguei Prokofiev left Russia.
Until 1933 he toured in Germany, United-States, Canada, Cuba and Italy. This same year he decided to come back to the USSR. But soon his relationship with the sovietic politics deteriorated. He encountered problems to obtain a visa and continue travelling. So he decided to get ‘wise’. However in 1949, the Composer Union accused him of ‘bourgeois formalism’. He was censored. He would wait until 1952 to regain the favour of the sovietic politics and receive the Staline Price for his Symphony o7. He died in Moscow on March, 5th, 1953 – exactly the same day than Staline.
