Abstract
In his Pushkin songs Op. 73, written on the occasion of the centennial of the legendary Russian poet, Prokofiev continued the romantic nationalist tradition started by Mikhail Glinka. In the folk-song arrangements Op. 104 and duets Op. 106 the imagery deals with the usual universal themes of unrequited love, girls given out in marriage to older men, the pain and sorrow of separation, the lament of an abandoned lover, scenes of everyday peasant life, scenes of nature, and a witty parody of the clergy.
