Sergei Prokofiev - 8 February, 1916
from Sergey Prokofiev diaries: 8 February 1916, page 86:
It was rather entertaining when I sat down to accompany Butomo in the Duckling and got terribly lost, reading the transposed key and then in the most delicious section absent-mindedly shifting to the proper key, prompting the singer to stop and exclaim in amazement: 'Why has it suddenly gone up so high?'
