Are we allowed repeated participations ?

[kishnevi]

The first order of business is to select 15 Russian symphonies; subsequently, our game will commence.

Selection Rules:

1.  Select one or two Russian symphonies on a daily basis.

2.  Once you have selected a particular symphony, you may not pick it again - one and done.

3.  If and when that symphony is selected by 2 other game participants, it will be included in the game.

My two picks today:

Shostakovich - Symphony no. 15 in A major, op. 141 (1)
Stravinsky - Symphony in Three Movements (1)

[André]

OK, I get it. As Scarlett O'Hara used to say, « tomorrow is another day »

[Karl Henning]

Some of you guys are nuts! (Prokofiev 2, sheesh! Even Prokofiev hated it!)

If Prokofiev had heard today's performances, he might not have thought about revising the work at all!

The Chair recognizes the Baron's emoticon 

Per Mahlerian, IIRC it was not that Prokofiev hated it, but that an imperfect first performance threw him into some doubt.


I'll never believe that he hated it as he was composing it.

[Jo498]

Prokofiev's 2nd is very original and bold, so some doubts are understandable. But these very qualities make it so fascinating.

[Draško]

Tchaikovsky - Manfred Symphony in B minor, op. 58
Popov - Symphony No.1, op.7

[ComposerOfAvantGarde]

Prokofiev's 2nd is very original and bold, so some doubts are understandable. But these very qualities make it so fascinating.

I honestly don't know of any other Prokofiev piece that has actually proven to be as inspirational to composers more recently. It's certainly one of his best pieces. The third symphony and his opera The Fiery Angel (related pieces) are also brilliant, but I don't see them being so influential like the second symphony.

Maybe the reason it is so original and bold and successful so many decades after it was composed is one of the reasons it is so loved today.
