Sergei Prokofiev in Sestroretsk - 27 May, 1915
from Sergey Prokofiev diaries: May 1915, page 47:
On the 27th I went to Sestroretsk for the general rehearsal. Dreams, which I was now hearing for the first time in the revised version I had made years ago, had been played so appallingly at the previous rehearsal that when Malko afterwards asked me not to be too angry, I was able to tell him: 'Not the least bit: after all, there wasn't a single note of my music, so I heard it as if it was a work by someone else.'
