Talk:The Fiery Angel (opera)

Coincidence and possibly too trivial
According to the notes to Järvi's DG recording, while composing the opera, Prokofiev was living very nearby the woman who inspired the original novel - a fact of which the composer was ignorant (need to check aforementioned notes and find out what are its sources as well, but if true, this is an amusing bit of trivia) Schissel | Sound the Note! 00:02, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Opening
Why does this article open like a bad undergraduate essay? All that unqualified talk of "challenges" and things being "factors in the piece's progress" (whatever that means - does the author mean factors in the progress of its composition and production?).

"The journey to completion was not truly over until after Prokofiev’s time". His "time"! The author means Prokofiev was dead when it was eventually produced.

It feels like it's been copied and pasted. iPhil (talk) 11:17, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
