Sergei Prokofiev
Sergey Profokiev was born in 1891 in Russia to a family of agriculturalists. His mother, who played the piano, was his first musical mentor. She supported his interest in music, often arranging trips to see the opera in Moscow. Renowned Moscow composer and teacher Sergey Tanevev recommended him for the St. Petersburg Conservatory. From 1904-1914 Profokiev studied at the conservatory, gaining a firm academic foundation in music composition and theory which he then used to create brilliant musical innovations. Upon graduating, the school awarded him the Anton Rubenstein Prize for an excellent performance of his first large-scale piece, Piano Concerto No.1 in D-Flat Major. His passion for experimentation was favored at the time by progressive circles encouraging musical revitalization.
