Maria Zhitkova-Prokofieva in Saint Petersburg - 5 December, 1912
from Sergey Prokofiev diaries: 5 December 1912, page 252:
This morning, while I was at work on the Piano Concerto, Mama said, 'How horrible that sounds, just as if you had no ear at all!' My answer was to shut the door. She has no understanding of my music whatsoever.
