However, during the Russian Civil War, the original manuscript of the Concerto was destroyed in a fire in Prokofiev’s apartment in St. Petersburg. In 1923 he recreated the score from memory, effectively composing the second …

The introduction features the low strings and there are moments for just the 1st 2 desks to shine. This rousing work will most certainly enhance the tone production of your group!/ Répertoire /…
