10 Pieces for Piano, Op.12 (Prokofiev, Sergey)

It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1926 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

Please obey the copyright laws of your country. IMSLP does not assume any sort of legal responsibility or liability for the consequences of downloading files that are not in the public domain in your country.

This "urtext" or "scholarly" (scientific) edition was published at least 25 years ago in the EU (or 20 years ago in Italy, before 1996 in the former USSR).

Navigation etc.

  • "The tamer binary-form exercises for Lyadov's class did not go entirely to waste. Three turn up in Op.12..."- Nice, Prokofiev: From Russia to the West, 1891-1935, p.50.
  • Grove Music does not list an arrangement by Prokofiev of No.7 for harp, though it does list the 4-bassoon arrangement of No.9 as op.12bis. Thus, it is unknown who did this arrangement. The collection as originally published in 1914 mentioned it as being for either piano or harp, so the composer is likely the arranger by designating it this way.
