This monograph presents a study of Sergei Prokofiev's piano transcriptions connected with the ballets Romeo and Juliet (1935-36) and Cinderella (1940-44). Although they are now considered two of the composer's finest achievements, both ballets suffered significant delays, censorship, and revisions as a result of Soviet cultural pressures. This monograph argues that these artistic frustrations were a major factor in Prokofiev's decision to arrange his ballet music for solo piano. These piano arrangements, or transcriptions, are musically distinct from their ballet counterparts in several ways. This monograph provides detailed analyses of four particular transcriptions, each of which reflects a notable change from its ballet counterpart. The transcriptions analyzed include one from Romeo and Juliet; "Romeo and Juliet Before Parting," and three from Cinderella; "Pavane," "Gavotte," and "Amoroso." Considering the challenges Prokofiev faced while composing the ballets, and the ways in which the piano transcriptions are musically unique from their ballet versions, this monograph argues that the piano transcriptions offer a unique insight into Prokofiev's musical vision, one which could not be fully realized in the ballets alone. To support this claim, this monograph explores the relationships between Prokofiev's compositional practices, his artistic beliefs, and the circumstances surrounding Romeo and Juliet and Cinderellaand their subsequent piano transcriptions. The monograph concludes with a reflection on the connections made and how they can influence both performers and musicologists, followed by a few suggestions for future research.
