Since Prokofiev will be dead 50 years on Wednesday, which music would be appropriate for remembrance of his passing? His music is more about anger than rest.

'Romeo and Juliet,' of course! Their immortality transcends their deaths.

Don't know about that characterization. The coda of the 1st violin concerto is not very angry, and would be an appropriately ethereal and lovely remembrance for him, I think. God, I love that music!

I'll be listening to his music on Wednesday. I think his first violin and piano sonata (Oistrakh/Richter) will be the closing selection, but before I get to that I will certainly play the 6th symphony (Mravinsky) and either the 6th (Pogorelich) or 8th (Gilels) piano sonata, as well as his 2nd piano concerto (Zak/Sanderling/Leningrad Phil). I will also be listening to his 'Story of a Real Man,' conducted by Ermler (I believe the only available recording of the work), which was recently reissued on CD by Chandos. Of course, selections from Romeo and Juliet won't be missing from the list (most likely the Mitropoulos excerpts).

Something gentle: the andante from the Seventh Symphony. Something heroic: the second movement of the Sixth. Something tragic: the last portion of Romeo and Juliet

How about Janacek's Glagolitic Mass? Unless you know of an antipathy that Prokofieff might have had against Janacek, which answer is completely unknown to me. Les
