Notes: Work completed by Vladimir Blok, based on Prokofiev's sketches. Includes a preface by Blok explaining the reconstructive process. The parts by Prokofiev are the exposition and the beginning of the development. Blok has continued the development, appended a literal reprise of the first part of the exposition, connected it with a surviving sketch of the recapitulation and then recapitulated the remaining themes of the exposition. Prokofiev's tempo and dynamic markings are indicated with asterisks. Published in Moscow in 1973. Fingerings and bowings in this edition by N. (probably Natalia) Gutman. Wrong opus number printed on the title page, and then corrected in pencil (on the copy) to 134. The title page contains the following hand-written inscription in Russian dated August 21, 1973 from Blok to one Lola Feigin: "Дорогому Лёля Фейгину от одного из многих отнюдь не-Прокофьевых с сердечнни приветем."

Notes: Work completed by Vladimir Blok, based on Prokofiev's sketches. Includes a preface by Blok explaining the reconstructive process. The parts by Prokofiev are the exposition and the beginning of the development. Blok has continued the development, appended a literal reprise of the first part of the exposition, connected it with a surviving sketch of the recapitulation and then recapitulated the remaining themes of the exposition. Prokofiev's tempo and dynamic markings are indicated with asterisks. Published in Moscow in 1973. Fingerings and bowings in this edition by N. (probably Natalia) Gutman. Wrong opus number printed on the title page, and then corrected in pencil (on the copy) to 134. The title page contains the following hand-written inscription in Russian dated August 21, 1973 from Blok to one Lola Feigin: "Дорогому Лёля Фейгину от одного из многих отнюдь не-Прокофьевых с сердечнни приветем."
