Born on 23-April-1891 (11-April-1891 old style) in Sontsovka, Ukraine of the former Russian Empire, Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev is considered one of the greatest composers of the twentieth century. He was also an accomplished pianist and conductor. He attended the St. Petersburg Conservatory from 1904 to 1914, winning the Anton Rubinstein prize for best student pianist when he graduated. Like other great composers he mastered a wide range of musical genres, including symphonies, concerti, film music, operas, ballets, and program pieces. At the time, his works were considered both ultra-modern and innovative. He traveled widely, spending many years in Paris and Ettal in the Bavarian Alps, and toured the United States five times. He gained wide notoriety and his music was both reviled and triumphed by the musical press of the time. He returned to his homeland permanently in 1936. He died on 05-March-1953 in Moscow.

Educated at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, Prokofiev studied under such masters as Lyadov, Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchereprin. In 1908, he made his debut as a concert pianist. In 1914, he travelled to London and worked on a commission from Dyagilev. In 1917 he finished his opera based on The Gambler by Dostoevsky and in 1919, the Love For Three Oranges was completed. After a visit to the US, Prokofiev settled in France in 1920. During his time there he finished his opera, The Fiery Angel and his second symphony. Disillusioned initially with the Soviet regime, he eventually reconciled and returned to Russia in 1936. His most well-known works were produced during this period and included Peter and the Wolf (1936), Romeo and Juliet (1938) and music for Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky. During the Second World War, he produced numerous patriotic pieces together with three piano sonatas, the opera War and Peace and his 5th Symphony. Prokofiev died on the same day as Joseph Stalin in 1953. His other works include the Cinderalla Suites, numerous orchestral pieces, songs and piano scores. He produced seven symphonies and eleven piano sonatas.
