Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 1 in D-flat Major, Op. 10 (Kissin)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- The concerto received its premier in Moscow on August 7, 1912, with Prokofiev as the soloist. The reaction from audience and critics was resoundingly negative. The work was labeled "musical mud," the work of a madman. The ugliness and outcry at the premiere brought Prokofiev instant attention. Prokofiev would continue for years afterwards to be accused of decadence and modernism, which is ironic, since a strong thread of traditionalism runs through most of his works, particularly in terms of form and overall harmonic construction.
Prokofiev regarded this concerto as his first mature composition. It is a single-movement work in sonata-allegro form. As Prokofiev notes, there is an Andante inserted before the development, and the development is a Scherzo, with a final cadenza introducing the recapitulation. Although cast as a single movement, the inclusion of an Andante and Scherzo suggests that the work really has a broader symphonic dimension. The concerto contains much of Prokofiev's typical lyricism, especially in the Andante, but is at the same time a very sprightly work, from the dotted rhythms of the principal theme to the energetic cadenzas and rousing recapitulation.

To think there was a time when I didn't understand Prokofiev. His music is genius and it took me developing a better ear to realize it.
The 1912 audience must have never heard anything with this much ATTITUDE before
Exactly.
I really feel sorry for Prokofiev that many of his works, especially concertos, had really bad critics. But I think it is even more fantastic that he kept going. I think he can be a role model for us people today, who tend to give up very early. We should never give up and try our best all the time no matter what other people say.
The critics were not his biggest problem.
@@acr08807 i can think of one that was quite a huge problem. huge belly too, very full of himself
@@raulperez2308 well, had reason to be, his second and third piano concertos are some of the best piano concertos of all time and much better than this one.
Closest man to Mozart if u ask me.......
Although reaction to some works was bad, the first performance of 7th sonata was a great success and prokofiev was awarded the Stalin Prize (second class) as a result
That Prokofiev was 19 years old when he composed this is remarkable, and he won the Rubenstein prize performing it to boot. I have always had great affection for his concertos - and pretty much everything else that he wrote.
I really don't understand why this piece had bad critics. It's just a wonderful piece.
It is. But only for People who are used to Hearings classical Music and prokofiev
Because people, generally, are small-minded, and like what they already know.
such a powerful opening
This received negative attention? Are you kidding me? This is a master piece.
In the early 1900's people were still in the dream of the old fashion romantic harmonic sounding music.Music dissonant was seen as taboo and totally rejected.
I strongly agree with you, BLACK HAT.
BLACK HAT I completely agree with the people of 1912.
Dump your piano--Your deaf!
@bill Bloggs Nobody ask you for your opinion.
I love the amount of vibrancy Prokofiev's chords have. Absolute master at counterpoint.
Kissin kills it here. Gives it the alacrity and ferocity this piece demands better than I've heard so far.
8:52 and that's when magic land appears... 🙌🌟💖
This is a truly stunning piece! Early Prokofiev's colorations are incredible throughout all of the movements and the virtuosity in terms of technique is demanding. Kissin does an excellent interpretation of the concerto, fully playing each individual note while also establishing a concrete tempo! Amazing work!
My piano class teacher loved Prokofiev. Now 45 yrs later I get it! Geez
Certainly better late than never when it comes to getting acquainted with the music of Prokofiev. Have you heard his second violin concerto?
I like it when composer branch out from ‘common’ key signatures in music. This is the first Concerto I have come across in D-flat major.
I think the Khachaturian one is in D-flat major as well. I recommend you to Check it out!
i love it considering how d flat major is my favorite key signature
Isn't Tchaikovsky in D flat major too
@@jackminto7062 B-flat minor, if you're referring to the 1st Piano Concerto
Even though that concerto starts indeed in D flat Major.
Aside from the hint of Rachmaninov in the main theme, so much of Prokofiev is so individualistic, so unlike anyone else. He's like a musical genius dropped on earth from another planet, having never heard a note of western music from the past 400 years.

Fantastic performance of an incredible work!
Prokofiev: If you can read this... This is a master piece! That people didn't have a taste. Passión, irony and love... And you put it all together in a píano concerto. Beautiful.

That's unique masterpiece, that is 50 years ahead of its time. Ending is magic and fantastic. That's unfair that Prokofiev born in such terrible and unfair times and country...
This is totally masterpiece.
Music and math are the international languages...:-)
@@briananderson8428 umm ok
All of Prokofiev’s piano concertos are ingenious
Not crazy about the 5th.
@@djmotise Me neither. But I like the 5th and the 2nd the more I hear them, though neither could ever match the 3rd.
@@thomassnider6691 I prefer the second to the third by far, and I actually really like the 5th !
@@cha_mzzn5690 I fell in love with the 3rd instantly, but I've found that the more I listen to the second and fifth the more I like them. I used to not like the fifth at all, but the last couple of times I listened it's like I caught something that evaded me the first time.
make better.
Absolutely gorgeous!
Young Prokofiev is the best!
The tempo is a bit rushed for my taste - but you just can’t argue with greatness. I love this work.
Prokofiev's teacher Glazunov stormed out the door after he heard this premier !
Thanks for posting this with the score. All arm chair score readers thank you. Nevermind the trolls.
ONE OF MY FAVES OF ALL TIME
i actually kinda love this, especially the 2nd and 3rd movement, ESPECIALLY the 3rd movement.
Now that was really clever: bring in the last ad On Top Of the last recorded note . . . !
Ads ruin the entire work.
Kissin really brought out the youthful panache in this piece and played the hell out of it (pardon the language)!!! There’s so much excitement but also giving it just enough nuances!
Thanks for this!
This certainly did not deserve the hate it first got. For Prokofiev's first major work, It's a good peice, not as good as no.2 or 3, but it is absolutely not "musical mud".
The Incredibles at 9:00
Maybe after listening to Tsaikovski for decades, the first audience was simply shocked by this piece. But It is eloquent, poetic, full of youth and hope for the future. And now - can there ever be anything in music that is shocks the audience? Even the most bizarre works are met with polite clapping. Perhaps there is so little amount of people who cares about concert music.
I've been thinking about your question a lot in the past and the answer is in electroacoustic music.The Way it is presented is surprising and it's sole purpose is to "touch" the listeners in ways only that kind of music can.I've only been to one such concert,but my excitment and in some cases confusion couldn't be hidden,while the applause was one of the most sincere i have ever given.

@@konosxatz1 this might be a bit weird but I just wanted to comment that this account belonged to my father who died a few weeks ago from cancer. It's really intresting to see what he was intrested in. Thank you for your response, without it I wouldn't have found my fathers comment.
@@derftyiu Wow man,you're welcome.I hope you're feeling good and keep searching for your father's music,I bet he had great taste. :)
@@konosxatz1 thank you, I knew he loved music and he was a good musician himself, but now I've learned a bit more about his opinions and thoughts on different musical pieces. He was more of a thinker not a talker, so we didn't discuss as deeply about music ect. as I would have hoped.
@@derftyiu Hello, I am sorry for the loss of your father. He brought up a great point that Prokofiev’s mentors encouraged him to remember; to paraphrase - don’t rid yourself of dislike or else your own music will lose its character. Almost no one can provide agreeable criteria for the definition of music let alone good music which is why the bizarre works still get respect which they perhaps do not deserve. my two cents...best wishes
Whenever I read Robert W. Chambers' masterpiece 'The King in Yellow,' *this* is the music that comes to mind.
To think that this masterpiece has more than 100 years is kinda crazy

I don't know what it is but I love this piece. Back in 1912 people probably wanted easy listening type music. Keep in mind gramonphones were simple horn amplified machines that sounded like 6 transistor AM radios, so the only way to hear some intense thrilling music was to go to a concert. Prokoviev's 1st must have been a serious disappointment to thrill seeking people hoping for some Brahms or Wagner
Not necessarily true. In Europe pre-WW1 the futurism movement was beginning and a number of people were obsessed with the extreme as a concept
What do you mean with easy listening? Mozart's music is not easy listening.
Kissin really seems to feel this piece
Oh dear, I was rather ignorant of Prokofiev so far, sure, I know and love a lot of his stuff very well (symphony 1, love for 3 oranges suite, peter and the wolf, romeo and juliet and some piano sonatas), but I´ve planned to listen to a lot more of his oeuvre and my word, this piano concerto is so much fun! Also an excellent performance
I found this piece in the city library's LP section---60 years ago, as a student. Isn't it fine ?
Stephen Ritchings real fine!
Dedicated to his teacher Tcherepnin, who appreciated Prokofiev's talent from day one 🤘

1:07 finally, time when hanon exercises were useful to me.
does anyone know where can i find good fingerings for this concerto? i dont find the ones in the video particularly good
beautiful
Which is orchestra? Anh who is conductor of the orchestra? Tell me please. Thanks.
Evgeny Kissin, Berliner Philharmoniker & Claudio Abbado
This is wellin line with the scandals in Paris for the Rite of Spring or in Musikverein, Viienna for the second viennese school.
first time i listened to this properly. WOAH is all i have to say!
I'm currently working on a solo piano transcription of the second movement. Tricky.
Could you kindly tell me where I could find the score for this transcription? I’ve been playing concertos arranged as solos, and I’m about to perform the original with orchestra in two weeks. Thanks very much!
@@danielgloverpiano7693 I'm not aware of a published transcription. I'm an amateur player and I've learned the second movement (surely one of the most beautiful themes in the repertoire?) and I'm trying to create my own solo transcription but as you're no doubt aware, such an objective requires quite some dexterity!
Are you familiar with a solo transcription of Rachmaninov's second? I'm also learning a transcription of that concerto's first movement which is quite exhausting for a modest player like me!
Good luck with your forthcoming concert.
@@keyboarddancers7751 i see. Thanks very much for your response. Yes I have a transcription of Rachmaninoff 2nd by a British man. He’s done quite a few pieces. The best of the transcriptions I have done was Bizet’s transcription of the entire Saint-Saens No. 2. It works extremely well as a concert piece.
You’re correct about the beautiful tune in the middle of Prokofiev 1. It makes me melt when I play with the orchestra. The clarinet solo is especially lovely and I imitate the way they play the trills.
@@danielgloverpiano7693 With your prompt, I've just ordered a copy of that Bizet transcription! Saint-Saëns' concertii are criminally under-played. I've heard accusations of 'frivolity' and 'mere bagatelles' thrown in their direction which is appalingly undeserved! I'm also working on Benfield's solo transcription of Saint-Saëns' Wedding Cake Caprice which is a complete delight.
@@keyboarddancers7751 I agree completely. I got to play both Wedding Cake and Africa with orchestra one time each. They are indeed delightful. Africa was also done as a solo by the composer, and he recorded parts of it. Enjoy!
Love it. Apparently wasn't well received at first
Gee, I wonder what inspired this first movement. But as Stravinsky said, "Lesser artists borrow; great artists steal."
Thanks for all the Prokofiev uploads, I've gotten to know the composer a lot better with your videos!
what is it stolen from?
@@bupkaplan The beginning sounds extremely reminiscent of the beginning of Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto.
Other than being grandiose its actually not very musically similar.
@@carlbrann5810 I was more thinking the very beginning. After that, yes, they're quite a bit different, but this concerto's opening is extremely reminiscent of Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto.
Con este concierto, Prokofiev DECIDIÓ ganar el premio Rubinstein...lo compuso para sí, para el triunfo...

1:30, 5:41, 8:33
I must say I rate Kissin higher from this. But I get why pianists don't play this because it's not as sublime as 2 and 3 even though don't get me wrong, it's incredible.
What? Pianists DO play it. All the time.
Bela execução!! Melhor que ele só Martha Argerich! rsrs
8:12
Music for Kissin is not fireworks, more than a pianist.
The structure makes it Lisztian in form
Arch Angelico
2:06 Medtner?
Pretty bad fingerings there.. :)
Oh god yes! I've been working from the same scan (downloaded from the IMSLP) and am scratching my head over many of them.
do you know where can i find good fingerings for this concerto?
fantastically annoying at the start ;) I have compassion for the pianists practicing this. The second mov has something to say however , great mood. Then later at the iii mov you can still see evidences of a composer greater than this theme, and this form. The concert shows at the end an evolution of him as composer, this is very interesting. Curious to see how long he needed and if he stopped the composition sometimes
Welches Orchester spielt?
Love this piece. Big fan of Evgeny Kissin. Don't love this interpretation so much though.
I think this was record when he was a teenager
Me neither. Distasteful tempo at end.
Beethoven sinfonia nr 4
Is this concerto easier than Liszt 2?
Prokof'ev's Graduation composition. Kissin's good but Argerich's ensemble and octaves are better.
Sonata form, originated by Haydn and perfected by Mozart and Beethoven, had fallen into disfavor by the time Prokofiev wrote the first concerto, which is in extended sonata form. That may be why listeners went "huh?" Fortunately for us, the composer was undeterred and kept working. He was obviously made of sterner stuff than Rachmaninov, who fell apart after one of his symphonies bombed and had to consult a shrink.
Haydn and Mozart didn't originate "Sonata form" , and none of the great composers thought of it as a preconceived form: it was thought of as a range of processes and choices that were limited only by the ability and imagination of each composer. And Prokofiev's First Concerto doesn't adhere to any type of standard form.
Well , the audience wasn't ready for Prokofiev in the early 20th century but they will be completely shock the kind of 'musical mud' we have in this 21st century !

An advertisement in the middle of THAT Sort of Concerto ...? What a lack of good taste ...
Help. What the hell is going on here? I can tell its important but I don't understand the language. I love 19 -20 Century Russian composers... but Prokofiev's works leave me Be willard. Is it because I can't realize the pain this came from? I hear the intensity but I am also blinded by it. HELP HERE and thanks. Moi
What's your reaction to this? What is it you don't get?
I felt the same way when I first heard it. I could hear the brilliance but I wasn’t feeling it, the best advice I can give you is to listen to it over and over again. It will grow on you. You’ll begin to understand the dynamics and changing harmonies.
Always happen, just listen again until you find the patterns and hear all the ideas
Disappointing finale. WAY too fast. Ugh.
Ugh 🤓
I completely see why this was disliked. This sounds like the Lil Pump of their day. Just as in 3018, Lil Pump will be thought of as good music, but today we see it as garbage. Dont @ me.
@ me.
Agree....Lil Pumps "Gucci Guy" will be analysed by Academics and declared spiritually inspired in 3018, or even 2020! Still, music like all art is in the ear or eye of the beholder. But then I'm odd, I love Rachmaninoff!
sorry, but did you just compare prokofiev to lil pump
@@EPCRh What's wrong with Rachmaninov?
EPC1948 Rh Rachmaninoff isn't even close to odd, what are you talking about. You must be listening to way too much Mozart, Mendelssohn, and Haydn to think that Rachmaninoff is odd
I can see why this recieved negative attention, it sounds absolutely horrendous
Could you elaborate on what you dislike about it? The me from 5 months ago would have probably agreed with you, but I really came to appreciate Prokofiev's works recently, especially his Piano Concertos. Everyone has different tastes and I understand that dissonance is not for everyone, but I would like to hear your take on what exactly turned you away from this composition.
@@dzordzszs Merely APPRECIATE it?... Why so hesitant?.... I genuinely loved this piece from the first listen and don't understand how anyone could not like it.
@@doublenegation7923 Sorry, it was just bad phrasing by me.
@@doublenegation7923 I dont like it
@@dzordzszs at 1:08 sounds robotic, and his music in general is robotic, and no one likes robots because they are going to take over the world.
Strange how this is rubbish but 2nd amazing
the only rubbish thing here is your comment
Not much rubbish as you are
Junk music, the audience weren’t wrong about their reactions.

U clearly don't understand classical music or good music all u like is hip hop yapededo like appreciate the work of this
Do you listen to classical? Doubt it. Its obvious that much of popular movie or game music has taken reference from pieces like this or the piece that this piece is inspired by.
