🇷🇺Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev ： Ten Pieces Scherzo Op.12-10

Closing Prokofiev’s Ten Pieces, this scherzo brings sharp rhythms and a vivid sense of motion to the foreground. Short motifs seem to pass from one voice to another, while sudden changes in dynamics and accents create a playful yet tense atmosphere. It is important to preserve the overall flow while keeping the individual notes clear and even. Rather than relying on speed alone, vary the depth of the touch according to the character of each passage and bring out the register in which the melody appears. This highlights the music’s incisiveness and humor. Attention to changes in sonority and density helps sustain the momentum through the conclusion.
