Sergei Prokofjew

Five Melodies Op. 35bis

This is a version of Opus 35, which Prokofiev wrote for the vocalists Vocalise during his American days, arranged for violin and piano, and is performed by many performers in Japan as part of their repertoire. The five pieces, each of which unfolds a unique, lyrical and mysterious world, are dedicated to three great violinists who were close friends. First published in Japan. Mr. Masayuki Kino, who plays this work, has written down detailed and careful fingering and bowing in the part score, and the piano part has been proofread by Mr. Masako Ishiguro, who co-stars with him.
