🇷🇺Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev ： Four Pieces Minuet Op.32-2

The second piece from Prokofiev’s Four Pieces, this Minuet is marked by a poised, regular pulse suggesting the outline of a classical dance, together with distinctive harmonic tension. Within its composed flow, unexpected accents and changes of sonority emerge, creating an interplay of elegance and an almost sardonic sharpness. In performance, it is important to keep the rhythmic framework clear while carefully bringing out the exchanges between voices and the contrasts in dynamics. Rather than making it overly lyrical, preserve its light sense of motion and wit to highlight the changes of expression within this brief piece.
