I'm impressed that you watched the videos.  I really didn't expect anyone to.  I think it's interesting that you recognize "Peter and the Wolf" from Weird Al's version because I didn't know that even existed until I worked on this.

Really the thing that struck me most about Prokofiev was his self-centered naïveté.  It seems to me that he truly believed that all of the crap going on during the 1930s in Russia would not affect him OR that he was oblivious to all the crap that was going on in Russia during the 1930s.  

Prokofiev was a brilliant man, but he really dropped the ball on this one.
