Description

Concerto for Piano No. 3 in C major, Op. 26 was completed in 1921 using a theme and variations Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) had sketched in 1913. While he revisited the sketches in 1916-17, he fully devoted himself to this concerto during his 1921 summer holiday in Brittany, saying “I already had all the thematic material I needed except for the third theme of the finale and the subordinate theme of the first movement.” Concerto for Piano No. 3 premiered on December 16, 1921 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Frederick Stock and Prokofiev playing the solo. The work was not an immediate success until a 1922 performance in Paris conducted by Serge Koussevitzky, confirming this work in the 20th century canon.
