The three so-called War Sonatas Nos. 6–8 were composed in the years 1939–1944, while Prokofiev was evacuated from Moscow to Kazakhstan and the Caucasus. The reference to the siege of Leningrad was a prerequisite for the success of the compositions, which continue the tradition of Beethoven rather than conforming to the stylistic maxims of ’socialist realism’ in force at the time.

Sonata No. 7, best-known as ‘Stalingrad’, is the best known and most ornate of the three sonatas. Prokofiev received the Stalin Prize (second category) for this work in 1943. The work is suitable for advanced pianists.

Die drei sogenannten Kriegssonaten Nr. 6–8 entstanden in den Jahren 1939–1944, während Prokofjew aus Moskau nach Kasachstan und in den Kaukasus evakuiert wurde. Der Bezug zur Belagerung Leningrads war Voraussetzung für den Erfolg der Kompositionen, die eher die Tradition Beethovens fortführen, als dass sie den seinerzeit geltenden stilistischen Maximen des „sozialistischen Realismus“ entsprechen.

Die Sonate Nr. 7 ist unter der Bezeichnung ‘Stalingrad’ die bekannteste und kunst- sowie effektvollste der drei Sonaten. Für dieses Werk erhielt Prokofjew 1943 den Stalinpreis (Zweiter Klasse). Die Notation besitzt einen hohen Schwierigkeitsgrad.
