Prokofievpiano Sic Sonata No 8 In B Flat Major Op 84

This edition of the Prokofiev Sonata No. 8 is based on the original, unedited edition first published in the Soviet Union. This edition stays as close as possible to the original text, while correcting some of its obvious misprints, adding fingering, phrasing, dynamic markings, and pedal. Lyric elements are evident in both the Andante dolce (first movement) and the Andante sognando (second movement). The toccata-like third movement uses the piano's full sonority while at the same time treating it also as a percussive instrument. This clearly engraved, scholarly edition is the finest edition available of this virtuosic contemporary work.
