Abstract

While there are performance editions of Sergey Prokofiev’s Visions Fugitives, Op. 22, there are few academic writings and performance guides based on comparing recordings by Prokofiev and other pianists. This document aims to provide readers with a performance guide for Prokofiev’s Visions Fugitives, Op. 22, based on analyses of Visions recordings by Prokofiev and other prominent pianists, namely Boris Berman, Sviatoslav Richter, and Emil Gilels. This document consists of five chapters. Following an introduction to the document in Chapter One, Chapter Two provides a historical background of Prokofiev and the Visions Fugitives. An analysis of Prokofiev performing the work and the performances of Berman, Richter, and Gilels are presented in Chapters Three and Four, respectively. Chapter Five offers readers a performance guide to the Visions Fugitives.
