Donald Macleod looks at an unstable period in Prokofiev's life in the early 1920s. After basing himself near the monastery in Ettal, Germany, to work on his new opera, 'The Fiery Angel', he then got married and moved to Paris, where he would change address every year for the next decade. He also fell out with Stravinsky, in whose shadow he always worked in his time as an emigre in Europe.
