In the 1910s, a romantic infatuation for the harpist Eleonora Damskaja moved the young Sergei Prokofiev to compose three short pieces for harp and dedicate them to her. Two of these compositions later found their way into his piano cycles op. 12 and 22 and became known in this form; however, the third piece, a mystical Andante, remained unpublished until after his death. Through intensive research in Moscow archives, the autograph sources of all three works as well as galley proofs, first editions and later revised editions could be consulted for this edition. For the first time, all of Prokofiev's compositions for harp are thus available in a reliable Urtext edition, which additionally presents fascinating unknown variants. The preface by Prokofiev specialist Simon Morrison and helpful pedal markings by harpist Sarah O'Brien round off this new reference edition.
