The superiorità of Prokoffiev – a genius screenwriter and piano notation reformer – expressed in three monumental sonatas of 1940 – 1944 (the Sixth, the Seventh and the Eighth). He was second to none of his contemporaries as far as his contribution to the genre of stringed keyboard sonata and creation of such impressive “piano symphonies” are concerned.

Of great value is the scale of composer’s thought, who ventured on the eve of the war to create a monumental triad of sonatas whose content would be different but which would be linked as far as unity of style and significance of national and epic essence are concerned.
