- Abstract
Sergey Sergeyevich Prokofiev (April 23, 1891 - March 5, 1953) was a famous conductor, composer and pianist of the former Soviet Union. His works cover a wide range of genres and forms in the direction of music and art, totaling more than 100 works. Among them, Sonata is the theme that Prokofiev loved to create all his life. The sixth, seventh and eighth Piano Sonatas created in his later period have great momentum. They are also called "Sonata of War", and are his most representative works. From the background of Prokofiev's times, this paper analyses and summarizes the structure of the three piano sonatas, the characteristics of their later creation and the grasp of their styles.
