IN THE WORLD OF ARTS

People can't live without music. They listen to music, dance to music, learn to play musical instruments. Some of them are fond of pop-music, another prefers jazz, and others listen only to

classical music. One of the favourite composers is Sergei Prokofiev. He was born in 1891, and

when he was six, he began composing music. When he was 13, he entered the St.Petersburg Conservatoire where his teachers were such famous musicians as N. Rimsky-Korsakov and

A. Liadov. He played his works for the first time at a concert in St. Petersburg when he was 17,

and two years later at a concert in Moscow. Prokofiev composed music to such famous ballets as

“ Romeo and Juliet” and “ Cinderella”, to the opera “ War and Peace”. He wrote seven symphonies.

His sixth and seventh symphonies are known all over the world. Besides, he wrote nine sonatas,

many songs and different pieces for the piano. Prokofiev died in 1953. But thousands of people all over the world still enjoy his wonderful music.

Music plays an important role in people's life. It forms people's internal world, helps

correctly understand occurring events and bring up taste. Outstanding German musician Ludwig van Beethoven told : “ Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.” Music expresses most beautiful and sincere feelings. It is difficult to imagine a person, who would not love music.
