Page "hobbies" Paragraph 676

Of course, it must not be forgotten that in achieving this historical feat, Prokofieff had the vast resources of his people behind him ; ;

time and economic security ; ;

symphony orchestras, opera and ballet companies ; ;

choruses, chamber music ensembles ; ;

soloists ; ;

recordings ; ;

broadcastings ; ;

television ; ;

large and eager audiences.

It must be conceded that his native land provided Prokofieff with many of the necessary conditions for great creative incentive: economic security and cultural opportunities, incisive idioms, social fermentations for a new national ideology -- a sympathetic public and a large body of performers especially trained to fulfill his purpose.
