| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣藝術大學 === 音樂學系 === 103 === Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) composed about 240 works in his life, including opera, ballet music, theater music, orchestral, vocal, and piano works. He was also an excellent pianist. His piano works inherited the Russian traditions and combined with the wild percussion materials which enriched his personal style. Prokofiev's piano works had only three categories: Concertos, Sonatas and character pieces, the total of 9 Sonatas accounted for a very high percentage.
“Piano Sonata No.2” in this study was the first four-movement form Sonatas in Prokofiev’s composition. In contrast with the strongly romantic “Piano Sonata No.1”, “Piano Sonata No.2” is fulfilled with Prokofiev's personal elements. The harmonic palette is enriched with biting dissonance, the rhythmic framework is lively, and the melodies are vigorous and angular. Therefore, “Piano Sonata No.2” has a clear, balanced structure, and is a mature example in Prokofiev’s early works.
