Prokofiev was often viewed as eccentric and arrogant, and was consistently bored throughout his formal education In order to relate myself to Prokofiev, I can look for the similarities both between his and my method of playing, as well as similarities between his compositions and the music that I enjoy listening to Possibly admiration for his role models, happiness with his abilities as a composer, and sorrow for the impending war and bloodshed that was going to /did affect his homeland (jan 1, 1891 – mar 5, 1953)
