James Tobin mentioned:

Which brought up the interesting fact about the Norwegian composer Geirr
Tveitt, who lost 75% of his music in an 1980 fire: the only suriviving
piano sonate of his, as far as I know, is #29.  I've heard it played
live in Norway--pretty interesting, if a bit unstructured.  A Simax
recording exists.

I'm sure there are others who wrote more than Prokofiev, and I bet Karl
Miller has a big list for us!
