🇷🇺Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev ： Music for Children Regret Op.65-5

“Regret” is a miniature that condenses an introspective mood into a brief span. A quietly speaking melody forms its center, while changing harmonies suggest hesitation and inner fluctuation, reflecting the character with delicacy. The piece unfolds as a single continuous flow, changing its expression along the way; the passing of melodic material and the shifting sonorities are among its most appealing features. In performance, it is important not merely to play the notes softly, but to shape a natural breath by sensing where each phrase is heading. Keep the accompaniment restrained and carefully draw out the melody’s singing quality and resonance so that the work’s depth can emerge.
