Prokofiev-Nikolayeva - Peter and the Wolf (solo piano version)
Музыка
Tatyana Petrovna Nikolayeva (May 4, 1924 - November 22, 1993) was a Russian Soviet pianist, composer and teacher.
Nikolayeva was born in Bezhitsa (now part of Bryansk) in the Bryansk district on May 4, 1924. Her mother was a professional pianist and studied at the Moscow Conservatory under the renowned pedagogue Alexander Goldenweiser (whose other students included Grigory Ginzburg, Samuil Feinberg, Dimitri Bashkirov and Lazar Berman), and her father was an amateur violinist and cellist. She studied piano from the age of three and was composing by age twelve. At thirteen, she entered the Moscow Conservatory, studying with Goldenweiser and Evgeny Golubev. Goldenweiser, who had been friends with Alexander Scriabin, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Nikolai Medtner, stressed the need to develop the highest proficiency in contrapuntal playing. Nikolayeva graduated in 1948.
After graduation, she studied composition with Golubev. During this time, she wrote a cantata, Pesn o schastye (Song about Happiness), and two piano concertos. The first concerto, in B major, was recorded with the USSR State Symphony Orchestra under the conductor Kirill Kondrashin.
In 1950 Nikolayeva gained prominence by winning the International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition, part of the bicentennial marking Bach's death. More importantly, she met Dmitri Shostakovich at the competition, leading to a lifelong friendship, and was chosen as a first performer of Shostakovich's 24 Preludes and Fugues. Nikolayeva made three complete recordings of the cycle.
In 1959 Nikolayeva became a teacher at the Moscow Conservatory, later becoming professor in 1965. She made over 50 recordings during her career, notably keyboard works by Bach, including his Art of Fugue, and by Beethoven, but only became widely known in the West late in life. With the fall of Communism, she found herself in demand internationally, making several concert tours to Europe and the United States. She also sat as a jury member on many international competitions, including the Leeds International Piano Competition in 1984 and 1987. One of her best known recordings is her own transcription of Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, which was released by RCA Victor in Japan. She was known to have had an immense repertoire, and many enthusiasts await the reissue of much of her Melodiya back-catalog.

Чудово. Прекрасна піаністка і педагог.
Prokofiev had an imagination for not only his century, but all centuries.
Beautiful.

Please note that this is not the Prokofiev version -- this is variations. Lovely ones, but this is NOT the Peter and the Wolf that is performed by orchestras.

Wtf is that? An advocate of women composers? How about being an advocate of good composers regardless of genre, race, etc? Are women in music so weak and irrelevant that we need to paternize them? For the love of god! Stop the nonsense!

@@leonlinton634 Well, I think it's the same thing. Why wouldn't they? It's the same idea than the one I commented, no? Why would you even feel the need to say "I support the notion of women composing"? I don't understand how we reached where these kinds of comments are viewed as virtuous instead of just imbecile, empty and irrelevant. It's almost like saying "This piece is good! Oh! A woman did it? In that case it's extra good!".

Hardly composed. It's only an arrangement of the great Prokofiev who was incidentally male. Let's face it women can't really compose anything of gravitas. I've seen the list and all boring
I wonder if John Williams got some of his inspiration for Jaws from Prokofiev... specifically that big at 15:23

Why at 3:56 the high C is between brackets ?

In my opinion, if you hit that highest key on the piano that loud, you would probably hear your finger hit that key rather than the note itself.

It's in brackets because it's optional to play. The arranger is giving the performer the option to play it or not.

The highest C is one of the highest notes our ears can hear before we start hearing noise rather than a specific pitch. Since our hearing is stretched pretty thin at that point, we may or may not be able to hear that pitch in the first place. Also, the dynamic is mf undergoing diminution, which, at that volume, the highest C may be drowned out by the others. Also, there is fingerings to consider. If one uses the pinky on that highest note, there may not be enough power to carry the note anyway. One could use thumb on the lower note and ring finger on the higher note, though that may detach the C-B octaves a bit more than desired.
Excuse me, how it's possible to have the score of this transcription ?

Here you should add the performer's name too. You always should even if composer (arranger) and performer are the same person. (For example "Medtner plays his Fairy tale op 26 no 3" or "Maurice Ravel - Sonatine (Maurice Ravel)" and so on...) Please take care about that.

Maybe, for example, I search appropriate record to link my friend but is not able to watch the video because of slow internet... or I look through the list of videos and will be really glad to quickly find out should I listen to the record or not (and it's not because I hurry, that's because I don't want to lose temper). It is much more pleasant for me to find out quickly rather than to wait until the name appears at this long-progressing title card... it's annoying and repulsive. Of course, you can do as you prefer, I have no any right to teach you. Just want to express my feelings and opinion. And onion)
