*MVT I* EXPOSITION 0:01 Theme 1a, rising sequential thirds quickly joined by a second voice. Stepwise motion abruptly leads into... 0:07 Theme 1b, consisting of two main motifs: the insistent, dissonant repeated notes and the strangely _Dies irae_-esque theme in the middle voice. 0:20 t1a again, though the falling chromatic line appears _above_ the rising thirds, an example of invertible counterpoint. This time, it's capped off by a more decisive half-cadence, followed by a sudden _lunga_ G minor triad. 0:33 Transition. The most important aspect of this theme is the RH figure you hear at the beginning of this section. Descends sequentially, briefly touching on the tonalities of G minor, F minor, E-flat minor, and D-flat minor. A repeated falling half-step starting at 0:44 contributes further to the chromaticism; eventually, the music settles onto the common tone E (and the repeated E-D# actually anticipates T2!) as the inner voices continue to move chromatically, bringing us to... 0:56 Theme 2. It's in E minor... I think? A "sickly sweet", ethereal theme marked by dissonant harmonies. 1:34 Codetta. Falling chromatic notes in the LH reminiscent of t1a, followed by tr in diminution. This is repeated once, then tr is played in parallel 11ths twice, bringing the exposition to a close in E minor. DEVELOPMENT 1:59 A reharmonized version of t2. 2:17 tr alternates with the end of t1a. 2:33 The beginning of a long crescendo that takes up most of the development. First, invertible counterpoint on tr. 2:47 t1b and t2(!!!) enter simultaneously on top of tr. Repeated notes from t1 introduced at 3:01. 3:27 Climax in C-sharp minor, calling back to the end of the second statement of t1a. 3:37 tr in augmentation, superimposed on a chromatically rising version of itself. RECAPITULATION 3:47 t1a in LH (t1b entirely omitted) - this is gonna end with that G minor triad, right...? Nope; C minor is briefly tonicized, preceding another abrupt shift in tonality. 4:05 tr beginning in A minor, and ending with what appears to be some arpeggios implying the D Phrygian mode... 4:27 t2. The melody says D minor, but the first measure in the bass is a C major triad... D minor tonality becomes more obvious towards the end of the theme. 5:04 Codetta again. CODA 5:30 Two more statements of t1a, introducing diminished 7ths into the mix. We _finally_ get to hear this theme end on a perfect cadence! *MVT II* 5:54 A section. Emphasis on upbeats and the downbeats immediately following, with chromatic accompaniment. 6:27 B section. Built entirely on that insistent rhythmic figure of two eighth notes and a quarter note (often across barlines). Moves through D major, D-flat major, A major, then starts back towards A minor. 7:12 A section. Begins in a lower register than before, but is more or less the same as before besides that. *MVT III* 7:52 Introduction. Immediately sets the mood for this dark, bleak movement. 8:02 A section. A second accompanying voice enters, and the theme enters on top of them about two measures later. As is usual in this sonata, the G-sharp minor tonality is rather unstable and quickly changes. Second statement of the theme is significantly more dissonant, ending with parallel tritones in the bass. 10:05 B section. More active, dense, chromatic counterpoint in 7/8 time. 10:49 A' section. The tenor voice has completely dropped out; now, we hear bass octaves and the same alto accompaniment as before, but rewritten as repeated sixteenth-notes. Once the theme reenters, however, a much more chromatic tenor reappears, even featuring 2-against-3 polyrhythms towards the end. 12:57 B section again, drawing the movement to a close. *MVT IV* INTRODUCTION 14:00 Those rising fourths and fifths become an essential part of this movement's t1 (and could be a reference to the A section of the second movement). An arpeggio comes all the way down the keyboard at 14:05, followed by a dominant trill in the lower register. EXPOSITION 14:08 Four measures of the same vamp from the introduction herald the entrance of IV.t1, contrasting open fourths with stepwise motion. 14:31 IV.tr. A toccata-like texture is established by the abundance of rapid chords. Sudden shift to 2/4 time and an implied C-major tonality at 14:42. 14:47 IV.t2. A light, humorous theme that is then repeated at 15:03. 15:14 Codetta. IV.tr on top of the bass line introduced at the end of IV.tr; the RH eventually takes up lots of jumping chords (with a 2-against-3 polyrhythm) before a homogeneous rhythm is reestablished at 15:24. DEVELOPMENT 15:38 t2 from the first movement - what's _that_ doing here? Note that it's presented in the form that it appeared when it began the first movement's development. 16:02 This theme is suddenly presented in a much more humorous light (shifting to 2/4 time as well). 16:16 IV.t1 is now presented in 2/4, alternating with a fragment of IV.t2 16:37 IV.t2, with the sixteenth-note gesture from IV.t1 in the background. 16:44 The two rhythmic figures from IV.tr superimposed. 16:48 Further development of the introductory theme, which eventually does lead us right back to the introduction. RECAPITULATION 17:07 Same texture as at the beginning of the exposition, as expected. 17:08 IV.t1 17:19 IV.tr 17:35 IV.t2; the second time around, IV.t1 is layered on top of it all CODA 18:02 A drastically altered codetta, quickly overtaken by IV.int and IV.t1. 18:18 Opening arpeggio referenced again, followed by a series of chords that slam the sonata shut.

Dark meditation

Wonderful performance, I enjoyed every minute and can't wait to start practicing myself!

Prokofiev is often too great & marvelous a wonderful and awesome genius to follow, at least not easily, but his verve, vim & vigor, the 3 Vs!, are always electrifying and ever make you want to return for more! His Toccata, op. 11 is one such fabulous example of countless, and especially Guillou's transcription arrangement of it for organ, especially Vincent Dubois's wonderful rendition, I'll always regret Prokofiev wrote so little if any for the organ.

I'm sorry, having heard the whole recording, I must make an amendment. Not voicing, no. I have never heard such beautiful... everything O_O I mean he plays so well in tempo even in the most difficult moments, the dynamics is just stunningly precise, the sound is never harsh, even in fortissimo, … uh, I guess I'm gonna go dig the garden or something, there's no point in practicing anymore, because I shouldn't even dream of attaining this level of dexterity. Boris Berman…you're my hero!

Don't you dare give up on this. I find that when I break a piece down to small passages played very slowly and then build up the tempo, it will eventually come together. I read at one time that this is what Rachmaninoff would do. I often will tell students that by the mile it's a trial. By the yard it's hard, but by the inch it's a cinch.

This is a great sonata, and a great recording.

It was the sense of fun in the finale that really got me! Yes, the Andante -very slow - is very gloomy. Berman's metre was great. The modern pianists can learn something of great importance from this master. Speed is neither everything nor the aim.

Absolutely superb. He might not scale the heights of a Richter or a Gilels, as he'd be the first to admit, but his attention to detail and clarity of voicing are incredible. Serious, self-effacing pianism at its best

The recapitulation is absolutely brilliant. Leaves me dumbfounded every time.

Great example of the young composer. Some themes are a little out of register (the muddy C3-C4 range) and there're a lot of extended sequences, but the brilliant harmonies and phrasing are pure Prokofiev and sound like no one else.

I love so much to listen or to play the 3rd Mvt Andate, it's so hypnotic ❤

I have a recording of the first five sonatas done by a different artist. I hit upon Boris Berman's versions one day while idly trawling through KZread. It's interesting to hear a different artist's take on the same material. I have to say I prefer Mr Berman's interpretations in nearly every way. I listened to Sonata No.1 first, and was immediately taken with how clean the left hand playing is. I was always irked by the heavy-handedness of the bass part in the recording I heard first. It's a muddle. Mr Berman's playing is strong without ever descending into murk. Who'd want to be a concert pianist? The artist on my CD is by no means a nincompoop. His playing just doesn't have the verve I hear on these recordings.

Lenin, Stalin & their fellow deranged fascist filth didn't deserve greats like Prokofiev & his fellow luminaries, or the greatness of the Russian/Soviet peoples they wickedly made to so cruelly suffer, the dirt of whose feet their vile, lying lips weren't worthy to touch. Prokofiev is an epitome of how the darker the night (in which he lived), the brighter the light, which he surely was, as with so many of his dear colleagues across the spectrum of arts & sciences, et al disciplines. God remembered them even when they forgot Him so now they ironically more often are faithful in their true worship of Him that in the West where their lack of suffering for His sake has sadly all too much and often make us despise Him on Whom the Founders knew everything depended as their sole sure Foundation. Soli Deo Gloria!

Some might mistakenly consider the Russian/Soviet peoples "weak" to be so powerless in their enslavement by their vile leaders but that they have survived at all is a marvelous miracle testifying to Jesus's truth and reality of John 16:33: "These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." Ironically some "great & powerful" Soviet soldiers who tortured peaceful Christians while they themselves had no peace then came to abandon everything, even their perks & "power" as worthless to have Christ and His peace & true power that the world cannot take away or even truly successfully oppose. Who'd trade sixty some years of cruel torture followed by eternal joy with your Bridegroom in heaven for sixty some years of perks and "power" followed by eternal agony in hell without Him Soli Deo gloria!
