Complementing the more familiar piano sonatas, Prokofiev's shorter but by no means slighter piano works span his entire career, from the precociously brilliant
Four Etudes, Op. 2 and
Four Pieces, Op. 3, via the neo-classical
Four Pieces, Op. 32, the powerfully trenchant
Sonatinas, Op. 54 and the colourful
Fifth Sonata, to his final unfinished
Tenth Sonata. One of the most exciting performers of his generation,
DongKyu Kim won first prize at the 2010 San Marino International Competition and the highest award at the 2009 International Jeunesses Musicales Competition Belgrade.
