“This is a fast and cheerful piece about joyfully chirping grasshoppers, always arousing the interest of the children with their astonishing leaps. The fantasy of the image here does not go beyond the usual children’s fictions and in this respect differs markedly from, say, the mysterious fantasy of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker. In essence, it is an amusing children’s gallop, in the middle section of which one even hears intonations of pioneer songs.”
(V. Delson, “Prokofiev’s Piano Works and Pianism”)
