Prokofiev “War“ Sonata #7 Valentina Lisitsa Precipitato 3rd Mov. Finale
Tell me which art is uniquely devoid of violence? Not cinema of course. Not theatre. Not books. Not even paintings. Yes, classical music is generally a violence-free zone. Yes, there is a dose of violent passions and “drama“ in opera -- but opera is a hybrid between music and theater -- and ballet more than compensates for it.
But, there are exceptions. You are about to hear one of the biggest ones.
I must admit I do not feel good when I finish this sonata to a burst of thunderous applause. People can be forgiven though , forgiven for getting under the influence of incredible energy and power of this 3 minute piece. The same way as we feel good in movies when OUR GOOD guys kill off all those BAD guys , right?
Amazing how this piece is misread by music critics , from NYT one describing it as a ““an explosive burst of rock ’n’ roll with a chromatic edge“ , or a Russian one, praising its “мужественное жизнеутверждение и любовь ко всему живому“ trans
