The joke, if you will, of Prokofiev’s symphonic debut with the Classical Symphony was that the young iconoclast, who had earlier created an uproar with his Second Piano Concerto – its rowdy premiere took place in 1913, a few months after the riot-provoking premiere of Stravinsky’s Sacre du printemps – should suddenly exchange revolutionary helmet and battle fatigues for periwig and knee-breeches to evoke the elegance of the Classical era. If, a couple of decades later, Shostakovich had written anything like it – innocent, or at most disingenuous, as the score may sound to our ears – it might have been labeled “unwholesomely satirical.”

The Symphony No. 1 in D major, Op. 25, also known as the Classical, was Sergei Prokofiev's first numbered symphony. He began to compose it in 1916 and completed it on September 10, 1917.[1] It was composed as a modern reinterpretation of the classical style of Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
