Piano players: Do you know of any easy Prokofiev, Shoshtokovich, or Stravinsky piano music?

I can recall playing a piano version of Firebird by Stravinsky that was pretty easy. Maybe you’d like that. I’ve never played Shostakovich, and cannot think of any easy Prokofiev. Unless you can find a simplified version of Peter and the Wolf, which is fun stuff.

Thanks @cockswain do you have a version?

Unfortunately I do not have it handy. It was so many years ago. Possibly Schirmer or Palmer-Lethco might help.

Okay, I’ll wait to see if anybody answers. I can ask my piano teacher also, but she’s not really into modern music like I am.

Shostakovich wrote a set of 24 Preludes and Fugues (one in each key). Bach did the same thing, and in fact, the Shostakovich was inspired by the Bach. Some of the Shostakovich preludes are relatively easy (not the fugues, though).

By the way, Chopin also wrote a set of 24 preludes, one in each key (no fugues to go along with them, though). Some of the Chopin preludes are also easy, but I guess you prefer more modern composers.

Enjoy.

Prokofiev’s Music for Children.

Thanks everybody

As for Prokofiev, you may be able to find a piano version of the “Lieutenant Kije march” from his opera “Love for 3 Oranges”. Since this is an opera, the original is orchestral, but easy piano reductions of the work should exist. I seem to recall that this is a popular work for beginning piano players.
