Main Article Content

Anna A. Zondereger

Abstract

The article provides a comparison of biographies and work of two outstanding masters of the 20th century on an example of the First Piano Concerto of Dm. Shostakovich and Classical Symphony of S. Prokofiev. Through analogies between these compositions, seen in different planes (a positive emotional tone of both works, biographies, social and cultural contexts, style projections and creativity evolution), the author emphasizes the deep differences between the two composers.

Keywords: First Piano Concerto of D. Shostakovich, Classical Symphony of S. Prokofiev, Viennese classicism
