Sergei Prokofiev in Saint Petersburg Conservatory - 19 February, 20th Century, in the afternoon
from Sergey Prokofiev diaries: 19 February 1913, pages 319-320:
I hardly had time to go home and eat some bliny when it was time to return to the Conservatoire and go through the excerpts from A Life for the Tsar with Tcherepnin, and the rehearse with the chorus the National Anthem* and Glazunov's All Hail! The intebtion had been to have God Save the Tsar sung with piano accompaniment, but I had the brilliant notion of having it accompanied by the organ. The idea was accepted, and indeed it now sounds very good.
