The Seventh symphony in C minor sharp, opus 131 (1952) is ultimate the Symphonie of Sergueï Prokofiev.
It is one of its most lyric works and mélodieuses. Orchestral texture is very reduced compared to the five preceding symphonies and the harmonic and rhythmic writing is of a greater simplicity. As well relative modesty instrumental forces as the accessibility of the musical language make a work suitable of it to be played by the orchestras of young people - it was written besides partly in this intention. It releases from this partition a fairy-like charm and a nostalgia which make of it the worthy artistic will of a so much returned type-setter of the pride of its youth Paris ienne (Second symphony) that of its dashes of Soviet patriotism (Fifth symphony). The coded last movement, longest that Prokofiev wrote, constitutes a true good-bye with the music, follow-up of a last facetious start recalling that Art continues.
Work is in four movements:

Analyzes
Moderato
Approximately 9 minutes - a serenity connects and a transparency which make think of Jean Sibelius.Allegretto - Allegro
Approximately 8 minutes - the movement more squeaking of the symphony, carrying some remote echoes of the second movement of the Fifth.Andante espressivo
Approximately 5 minutes - pretty a Cantilena on bottom of Arpeggios which is not without pointing out the Second concerto for violin.Long-lived - Moderato marcato
Approximately 9 minutes - the last manifestation of the “endiablé” style of the type-setter, but on a mode plus primesautier that sarcastic.
