Meant for piano, it was called 'Indian Gallop'.
The composition was written by his mother Maria in the F Lydian mode. Subsequently, he wrote a few more pieces.
In 1899, Sergei Prokofiev's parents took him to Moscow, where he for the first time heard an opera. Intrigued, he began to write one. Very soon a libretto in three acts and six scenes was ready.
