Prokofiev Sonata No. 6

Prokofiev (1891 - 1953)

6th sonata

1st movement has a recognizable rhythmic figure which is repeated, feeling in an unusual meter. cool movement, sounds difficult. Winds down into a steady, beautiful flowing melody, sounding at first pentatonic. The second movement is all staccato chords, easily recognizable. The third movement is slow and quite beautiful, there is a long melody over the top of some interesting sounds underneath it. Sounds almost tonal, but not Atonal. The last movement is exciting, vivace, sounds to me like a chase - very fun.
