Date of premiere

Sergei Prokofiev won the Anton Rubinstein Prize for his pianistic accomplishments in a performance of the work before the Saint Petersburg Conservatory on 18 May 1914. This was at the same time the premiere of the composition.

However, I have a recording by Sviatoslav Richter, the liner notes of which say that the premiere was in Moscow on 7 August 1912, with the composer as soloist. Can we confirm the correct date and venue? -- JackofOz (talk) 02:14, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Description

Why does this article say it's a "one-movement concerto" when it has 3 quite distinct sections with different themes and tempo instructions. I would recognise these to be separate movements. I'll edit if someone agrees — Preceding unsigned comment added by RobinMorris66 (talk • contribs) 13:57, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have NEVER seen the concerto listed as a single movement piece anywhere. I have multiple CDs. They all list separate movements as does iTunes' database. I think the person describing it as a single movement piece may be confusing it with the first sonata. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.233.15.191 (talk) 14:19, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Update on this subject. The Discogs information I found for the 1975 Tacchino recording lists the piece as one movement. And yet, I have several more recent CDs, none of which do that. The piece is separated in iTunes when importing the concerto, too. I updated the article is a way that bypasses the issue. The structure area talks about "sections" not movements. Hopefully, this edit will satisfy everyone but it makes no claim either way. In practice, it seems clear that people have differing opinions about this piece being one or three movements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.233.15.191 (talk) 14:52, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the list of recordings, there is a link it states that John Browning was the pianist in one of them, however the hyperlink attached to his name goes to the page of John Moses Browning, an arms dealer, rather than John Browning (Pianist). Can this be fixed? — Preceding unsigned
