Student orchestra member of the Imperial Russian Conservatoire et al. in Saint Petersburg Conservatory - 12 January, 1916

from Sergey Prokofiev diaries: 12 January 1916, page 70:

In the interval [of the rehearsal for Ala i Lolli] I was surrounded by players from the orchestra, and one of them said to me that the constant extreme dissonances had affected his nerves so badly that he was becoming quite ill. He enquired why I should want to write in this way, surely it could not be from the heart so much as the fruit of a distorted and peverse imagination?
