🇷🇺Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev ： Visions Fugitives Op.22-10

No. 10 from Visions Fugitives is a character piece that condenses sharp movement and wit into a brief span of music. Its finely divided figures, sudden accents, and shifts of register create a restless sense of humor with a touch of irony. Rather than unfolding as a broad, singing melody, the piece invites the listener to follow fragmentary gestures that appear and disappear in quick succession. In performance, it is important to maintain rhythmic precision and a lively sense of tempo while bringing out the contrasts in dynamics and the crispness of the touch. Avoiding excessive heaviness and changing the character quickly from phrase to phrase allows the work’s incisive personality to emerge.
