Sergei Prokofiev - 1 March, 1916
from Sergey Prokofiev diaries: 1 March 1916, page 94:
In the score of his own opera he has removed many of the progressions in thirds and whole tones, and this has greatly sharpened up the piece. I am still not sure whether this is real music or Kapellmeister music. Much of it I truly like, but a score on fifty staves does have a sonewhat overwhelming effect. Coates calls me his professor and acts on the slightest hint I let drop.
