🇷🇺Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev ： Piano Concerto No.1 in Des-Dur Op.10

Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 1 is a vivid concerto that compresses fast, forceful passages, lyrical slow sections, and nimble, propulsive episodes into a single movement. The piano uses incisive rhythms, brilliant runs, and weighty chords to drive the music forward while conversing with the orchestra. Alongside the momentum sustained from the opening to the conclusion, the contrast with the singing expression of the middle section is a key point to hear. In performance, it is important to maintain clarity in rapid passages and rhythmic precision while distinguishing the energy of forte playing, the transparency of softer dynamics, and the natural breath of the melodies.
