Piano Concerto No. 6 (Prokofiev)
Sergei Prokofiev did not manage to compose more than a few bars of his Piano Concerto No. 6 (Op. 134, sometimes Op. 133) before his death in 1953, so it is impossible to reconstruct the underlying musical ideas and complete it.[citation needed]
The work is unusual in that it is scored for two pianos and a string orchestra. The other five of Prokofiev's piano concertos are written for solo piano (one for left hand alone) and more or less standard orchestration.[citation needed]
A version of the concerto was recently (as of late 2014) finished by the University of Toronto Assistant Professor of Composition Norbert Palej, with the assistance of Gabriel Prokofiev.[1] It was premiered on 27 Feb 2016 at the Louisiana State University School of Music at the Symposium on Prokofiev and the Russian Tradition.[2][3] Pianists Michael Gurt and Gregory Sioles served as the soloists.[2][3] This version was noted for its extensive and at times erratic use of the marimba and cymbals.[citation needed]
