I’m playing in concert with the Whittier Regional Symphony this weekend, and this Prokofiev Symphony No. 1 is the piece we’re finishing the concert with. It is CRAZY hard, but it sounds so charming and light and effervescent….! We worked on it this afternoon at our dress rehearsal and it’s just starting to come together 😂 And I’m loving it more and more each time we play it… Utterly charming and delightful!
