🇷🇺Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev ： Romeo and Juliet Friar Laurence Op.75-7

Built around a succession of weighty chords, this piece conveys a solemn atmosphere and deep introspection. Within its measured pace, groups of chords shift in a way that suggests the progression of a scene, while the contrast between quieter passages and powerfully expanding sonorities forms one of its central attractions. It is important to bring out the movement of each voice carefully while preserving the broad flow of the whole. The pianist should give the attack sufficient weight without allowing the resonance to become blurred, expressing the human warmth and tension contained within its stately character.
