- Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev (Russian: Сергей Сергеевич Прокофьев, tr. Sergej Sergejevič Prokofjev; 27 April [O.S. 15 April] 1891 - 5 March 1953) was a Russian Soviet composer, pianist and conductor. As the creator of acknowledged masterpieces across numerous music genres, he is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. His works include such widely heard pieces as the March from The Love for Three Oranges, the suite Lieutenant Kijé, the ballet Romeo and Juliet-from which "Dance of the Knights" is taken-and Peter and the Wolf. Of the established forms and genres in which he worked, he created - excluding juvenilia - seven completed operas, seven symphonies, eight ballets, five piano concertos, two violin concertos, a cello concerto, a symphony-concerto for cello and orchestra, and nine completed piano sonatas.

Sergei Prokofiev composed his Sonata for Two Violins in C major, Op. 56, in 1932 during his vacation near St. Tropez as a commission piece to conclude the inaugural concert of Triton, a Paris-based society dedicated to presenting new chamber music. That concert was held on 16 December 1932.
However, with the composer's permission, the sonata was performed for the first time three weeks earlier in Moscow, on 27 November 1932 by Dmitry Tsyganov and Vladimir Shirinsky, both members of the Beethoven Quartet. The performance at the Triton concert was the "Western premiere". The performers on that occasion were Robert Soetens - for whom Prokofiev would compose his second violin concerto in 1935 - and Samuel Dushkin, for whom Stravinsky composed his violin concerto a few months earlier. The work was published in 1932 in Berlin by Éditions Russes de Musique.
In his 1941 autobiography, Prokofiev wrote about the origin of the work:
Listening to bad music sometimes inspires good ideas... After once hearing an unsuccessful piece [unspecified] for two violins without piano accompaniment, it struck me that in spite of the apparent limitations of such a duet one could make it interesting enough to listen to for ten or fifteen minutes....
Regarding the Paris premiere, Prokofiev further adds:
[My] Sonata was presented at the official opening of Triton, which chanced to coincide with the premiere of my ballet On the Dnieper. Fortunately the ballet began half an hour after the end of the concert, and so immediately after the Sonata we dashed over to the Grand Opéra - musicians, critics, composer all together.

I am learning his sonata for solo violin right now, thanks for this! The more prokofiev the better!
I'm too learning this now
A little more approachable than other modern pieces, but not exactly “easy”, either.
Thank you for sharing!
Merci pour cette pièce que je ne connaissais pas de ce compositeur toujours inventif et jamais ennuyeux. J'adore ses concertos pour violon.
Joli morceau pas très connu de Prokofiev, magnifiquement interprété par les frères Pochekin. Un grand merci à
Bartje Bartmans pour ce partage.
Nice piece by Prokofiev, beautifully interpreted by the Pochekin brothers. Thanks a lot to
Bartje Bartmans for this sharing.
Speaking of the Pochekin brothers, [in their promotional video] they mention the significance of Prokofiev's sonata in their repertory: ruclips.net/video/RYREn4XBC5U/видео.html
Thanks for uploading! It's a refreshing work with some wonderful motivic transformations.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees !!!!
It's so awesome to see at least one Ling Ling Wannabee's comment in almost all classical music vids' comment section
Which video was it mentioning this piece?
"... apparent limitations of such a duet ..." Clearly not in capable hands of Prokofiev! The imaginative passage starting 14:43 has unparalleled beauty in the repertoire, and that's only one of many examples one could come up with.
Great passage indeed. Notice that this is the main theme of the first movement? Which makes this work cyclic in form.
Maybe it's the way it's recorded but there are too few dynamic changes. Volume could really be such a feature of interest .. real pp.... real crescendos and decrescendos. That's missing. 😮😢
Oistrach on violin?
Publicity in the middle of a piece is very disappointing...
Where did buy this version？I can’t find this version in IMSLP.
It is a scan of the sheet music I have.
Bartje Bartmans
Could you send it to me by garyleung169@yahoo.com.hk?
I don’t mind paying money.
Thanks！！！
Bartje Bartmans If it is not okay , it is fine!!!!!😄
@@garyleungkachun could you share with me (sheet music as score) as well: string_ensemble@yahoo.com? (thank you for this!)
Just so y’all know, it isn’t public yet because copy right lasts for 70 years after death. So by asking to purchase a score he didn’t make, you’re telling him to commit an illegal act in most countries. Most of us are probably on a musician budget, so I get it but just so you know
Could you make Ravel's Bolero HD?
can you send sheet music?
No diminuendos..
Only the last note is in C 😂😂😂
