The classic orchestral fairy tale of a brave boy who captures a wolf comes to brilliant new life. Maria Carlson’s translation and Charles Mikolaycak’s soft, inviting illustrations make for a fine update of Sergei Prokofiev’s beloved story. Paired with the original orchestral composition or read by itself, this book makes a wonderful addition to any family’s story time. Received a Society of Illustrators notation.

Prokofiev by Prokofiev: A Composer's Memoir

Macdonald General Books

THERE IS NO better way to introduce children to classical music than with Prokofiev’s musical fairy tale of the little boy (played by all the strings of the orchestra) who, with the help of a bird (played by the flute), outsmarted the big, bad wolf (played by the French horns). And now with this book and CD package, children can look and listen all at the same time. A new retelling by Janet Schulman follows the basic story, but with a kinder ending for both the big bad wolf and the argumentative duck. Peter Malone’s paintings have the luminous quality of old Russian masters. The CD, with music performed by the Cincinnati Pops and word-for-word narration by Peter A. Thomas, was made exclusively for this book and CD package.

Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths

One of the 20th century's most prolific composers of piano music, Sergei Prokofiev (1891–1953) is celebrated for his unique piano idiom, combining the seemingly incongruous elements of highly percussive textures with passages of great lyrical charm. "Above all," notes Grove's, "his music shows a professional care for the performer, never reaching beyond the practicable limits of execution." Pianists will welcome this excellent new compilation of pieces composed between 1907 and 1922 — the great formative years of Prokofiev's unique approach to keyboard writing — from his highly original Diabolical suggestion and the dramatic, capricious Sarcasms to the very popular March and Scherzo transcribed by the composer from his opera The love for three organs. Reproduced from authoritative early editions, this generous collection includes Four études, Op. 2; Four pieces, Op. 3; excerpts from Four pieces, Op. 4; Toccata, Op. 11; Ten pieces, Op. 12; the complete Sarcasms, Op. 17, and Visions fugitives, Op. 22; Tales of the old grandmother, Op. 31; Four pieces, Op. 32; and the March and Scherzo, Op. 33ter.

Abounding in the qualities Prokofiev considered the principal elements of his art (classicism, innovation, rhythmic vitality, lyricism, and sardonic humor), this collection features the dramatic and romantic Sonata No. 1 in F minor, Op. 1; Sonata No. 2 in D minor, Op. 14, a masterpiece in four movements; Sonata No. 3 in A minor, Op. 28, a brilliant 7-minute score; and Sonata No. 4 in C minor, Op. 29, a complex, exhilarating three-movement work considered vintage Prokofiev. Selected from authoritative editions.
