🇷🇺Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev ： Music for Children Tag Op.65-9

Lively rhythms and sharp accents create the sense of movement and mischievous tension of a game of tag. Short gestures are passed along in a restless flow, while changes of dynamics and register suggest the roles of pursuer and pursued continually changing places. Though the piece moves forward concisely, its sudden shifts of expression and crisp ending are especially compelling. In performance, do not pursue speed alone: keep the attack of each note coordinated and avoid making the accents too heavy. Maintain tension in the rests, and use nimble fingerwork and quick reactions to bring out the playful motion.
