Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953)
Beyond the Pacific Ocean

Having been lucky enough to gain official permission to leave his homeland, in 1918 he stepped onto the Trans-Siberian Railway, eventually making his way to America. Once there he set about establishing a name for himself as a virtuoso pianist and composer.
