The Sinfonietta in A major is a composition for orchestra by Sergei Prokofiev.
Sergei Prokofiev wrote his Sinfonietta in A major, Op.
5, in 1909 and dedicated it to Nikolai Tcherepnin, his conducting professor at the St. Petersburg Conservatory.
[1] The Sinfonietta is rather similar to the better-known Classical Symphony, being light in character, while infusing Prokofiev's typical twists of harmony.
The music is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets and strings.
