Timeline

1975

Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije Suite was sampled by Greg Lake on the song "I Believe in Father Christmas", which was released as a single in the UK in 1975 and reached number two on the chart. Music from the same suite was also used by Sting on his 1985 UK number 12 hit "Russians", for which Prokofiev also receives a writing credit.

1948

Prokofiev divorced his wife in 1948.

His ninth sonata, dedicated to Svyatoslav Richter, was welcomed warmly, but another official critic on his music and life started in 1948.

1934

He wrote film scores for The Czar Wants to Sleep (1934), Alexander Nevsky (1938), Cinderella (1961), and the two-part Ivan the Terrible, Part I (1944), directed by Sergei M. Eisenstein. All of his music, that he created while outside of the Soviet Union, was sometimes criticized as cosmopolitan and anti-Soviet.

1918

In 1918 in New York he met Spanish singer Carolina Codina (Lina Llubera), they married in Paris, in 1923, and had two sons. Prokofiev's radiant optimism and his childlike personality shines in his popular orchestral suite "Peter and the Wolf" and in the "Classical Symphony". His humorous irony and wit is popping up in piano pieces named "Sarcasms", also in his five piano concertos, ballets and film scores, all written in his instantly identifiable musical language.

1914

Prokofiev was a multi-talented man and an innovative composer. He learned piano from his mother and chess from his father. He always had a chess set on his piano, and was able to play against the chess champions of his time. He studied music with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, graduated with highest marks from the St. Petersburg Conservatory (1914), and was rewarded with a grand piano. He emigrated from Russia after the revolution, and made successful concert tours in Europe and the U. S.
