Prokofiev's Op.65 presents twelve easy pieces for the intermediate Piano student, with all of the playful and unpredictable characteristics of the great Russian composer's style. An excellent resource for concert performances, early recitals and festivals, the pieces cover a wide variety of moods and flavours, with a wealth of unusual melodic or technical challenges. Furthermore, the clarity and simplicity of the writing offers a candid glance at Prokofiev's compositional approach, which in turn will inform the student's understanding and appreciation of his larger and more complex works.
