Visions Fugitives
(Twenty Pieces for piano, Op. 22) played by Tom Bromley
Prokofiev, himself a brilliant pianist, has composed a great deal of piano music (including eight sonatas) in which his characteristically Puckish sense of fantasy finds full play. The ' Visions Fugitives ' were written in 1915-17, when he was in his early twenties; they vary in mood from the reflective to the scintillating. Frank Merrick , writing in Tempo, has said that the pieces ' might be taken as a series of comments on different individuals, swift and intuitive summings-up of people you meet.' H. R.
