🇷🇺Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev ： Cinderella Passepied Op.97-7

This miniature is marked by the light character of a dance and Prokofiev’s distinctive sense of sharp, energetic rhythm. Short phrases are passed on with agility, while accents and dynamic changes give the music forward momentum. Although the piece is compactly shaped, its shifting expressions from one passage to the next are an additional point of interest. In performance, aim for crisp articulation and a clear sense of the beat while preserving a buoyant lightness and avoiding heaviness. Bringing out the small touches of humor and keeping the movement of each voice clear will help balance vitality with elegance.
