Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev ： Visions Fugitives Op.22-19

The nineteenth piece from Prokofiev’s Visions fugitives is a character piece that condenses intense momentum and sharp accents within atonal sonorities. Though brief, its restless, almost bouncing motion drives forward in one rush, drawing the listener in with forceful attacks and unstable tension. In performance, it is important to maintain the fast tempo while making each accent clear and preserving the rhythmic propulsion. Use the pedal sparingly so that the sonority does not become blurred, and convey the work’s distinctive urgency through sudden dynamic contrasts and sharply articulated attacks.
