Peter and the Wolf Op. 67 a "symphonic tale for children", is a musical composition written by Prokofiev in 1936. The narrator tells a children's story, which the orchestra illustrates by using different instruments to play a "theme" that represents each character in the story.
In 1936, Prokofiev was commissioned by the Central Children's Theatre in Moscow, to write a musical symphony for children. The intent was to introduce children to the individual instruments of the orchestra to enjoy music and learn to recognize musical keys.
