Pianist: Matti Raekallio
Sergei Prokofiev's Piano Sonata No. 3 in A minor, Op. 28 (1917) is a sonata composed for solo piano, using sketches dating from 1907. Prokofiev gave the première of this in St. Petersburg on 15 April 1918, during a week-long festival of his music sponsored by the Conservatory.
Prokofiev composed this piece in 1917, the same year as his fourth sonata. Both of these sonatas bear the subtitle "From the Old Notebooks". This sonata derives from works that he composed as a teenager.
The sonata is the shortest of his piano sonatas, being in a single movement in sonata form and lasting approximately 7-8 minutes, but it is one of the most technically demanding pieces Prokofiev has ever written for the piano.
