However, whereas those composers eventually threw out the centuries-old harmonic system and turned to atonality, Prokofiev\u2019s unparalleled gift was to create original music that remained tonal. Finding an original path within an existing framework is also the basis of Neoclassicism\u2014a rejection of the unrestrained emotion of Romanticism in favour of a return to Classical principles of order, balance and clarity\u2014so it is no surprise that Prokofiev became a key exponent of that movement. The <i>Op. 12<\/i> suite was composed whilst Prokofiev was still a student\u2014precocious and arrogant (he irked his peers by keeping statistics on their errors)\u2014at the St Petersburg Conservatory, and it represents an early foray into Neoclassicism, with the influence of the eighteenth-century dances (which featured so highly in Volume 2 of this series) keenly felt, especially in the <i>Gavotte<\/i> and grotesque <i>Allemande<\/i>. The spiky opening <i>March<\/i>, repeatedly lurching between F and F sharp minor, foreshadows the more famous March from his opera, <i>The Love for Three Oranges<\/i>. The <i>Humorous Scherzo<\/i> ironically sets a rapid and agile dance in the piano\u2019s grumbling low register, and the effect is heightened by arranging it for comically inelegant and unwieldy instruments\u2014Prokofiev himself arranged it for four cumbersome bassoons, and luckily the septet has its own comedy troupe, three trombones and a tuba.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Knight<\/p>\n<p>Parts included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Score<\/li>\n<li>Trumpet in E-flat<\/li>\n<li>Trumpet 1 in B-flat<\/li>\n<li>Trumpet 2 in B-flat<\/li>\n<li>Trombone 1<\/li>\n<li>Trombone 2<\/li>\n<li>Trombone 3 (Bass)<\/li>\n<li>Tuba<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Purchasing this product entitles you to download it three times.
