🇷🇺Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev ： Romeo and Juliet Masks Op.75-5

Sharp rhythms and sonorities containing dissonance evoke the uneasy yet comic presence of figures wearing masks. The changing character of the scene emerges through the repetition and contrast of short phrases, as well as vivid shifts in dynamics and register. While maintaining the forward motion, performers should clarify the placement of accents and rests, alternating between hard-edged articulation and lightness of movement. Rather than relying on surface energy alone, listening carefully to the movement of each voice brings out the theatrical tension and ironic humor. Sustaining concentration through the ending and shaping the piece with a vivid profile are among its highlights.
