Sergej Prokovjef

Den 23 april 1891 föddes den ryske tonsättaren och pianisten Sergej Prokovjef, kanske mest känd för "Peter och Vargen": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctsWdUaHsHM------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1936 Sergei Prokofiev was commissioned by Natalya Sats and the Central Children's Theatre in Moscow to write a new musical symphony for children. The intent was to cultivate "musical tastes in children from the first years of school". Intrigued by the invitation, Prokofiev completed Peter and the Wolf in just four days. The debut on 2 May 1936 was, in the composer's words, inauspicious at best: "[attendance] was poor and failed to attract much attention".He could scarcely have foreseen quite how successful his playful classic would become or how consistently it would delight and inspire children and adults of all ages for years to come./Wikipedia--- Mer intressant om Peter och Vargen på engelska Wikipedia
