 With the prospect of a theatre production in 1913, Prokofiev revised the music and dedicated the second version to Miaskovsky.However this production fell through, as did a further potential Moscow production in 1916.When Prokofiev left Russia in 1918 he left the manuscript in the care of his Moscow publishing house, and thereafter it was put to the back of his mind, although Miaskovsky wrote to him in Paris in 1924 to ask about it.
