Description: A short march featuring rich harmonies and the Octatonic scale (Diminished 7th scale.) It is dedicated to the memory of Serge Prokofiev.

Purpose: To acquaint the intermediate piano student with advanced harmony and the diminished 7th scale in a dramatic piece with a crisp rhythm and a need for strong dynamics.

Suggestions for Instruction: The tempo should be moderate, not fast, but very steady. Particularly observe dynamic markings to achieve a dramatic, relentless progression of the material.
