Prokoffiev Piano Concerto 1,2,3 (2 pianos)
He composed a piano concerto. Now, how to stage the premiere of this? In order to seek funding from sponsors, he would have to give them an opportunity to hear what the piece is about and get their approval, so he would play the piano accompaniment version. The orchestral score will not sell a lot, but the piano accompaniment version will be in demand, and the score publisher will ask him to arrange the score for two pianos. In any case, it is a piano music piece to be played by two pianos. If it is a reduction by the composer himself, the framework of the music is even more essential. It would be a disservice to the composer to regard it as a practice score for a concerto. Sergei Prokofiev (Сергей Прокофьев 1891-1953), himself an excellent pianist, would have made some or all of these available to his clients. These works should be played more often in recitals, not only by concerto pianists or in the rehearsal rooms of music schools.
