Sergei Prokofiev - 2 May, 1915, at night
from Sergey Prokofiev diaries: May 1915, page 41:
That evening I played at Dobychina's Contemporary Music evening. Eleonora and Bashkirov were both there, and could not help noticing my distracted air. Eleonora was well aware of the reason, Bashkirov was not.* I played some of my smaller pieces, not very well.
