Ballet: The Buffoon (Chout) Op.21

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & State Symphony Orchestra of the Ministry of Culture of the USSR & Gennadi Nikolayevich Rozhdestvensky

The Buffoon (Chout), Op. 21, is a ballet by Sergei Prokofiev composed in 1915–16. The score combines folkloric melodies, abrupt rhythmic changes and sharp orchestral colour with Prokofiev's emerging modernist harmonic language, marking an early experimental phase in his career as he developed a more angular orchestral voice.
