🇷🇺Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev ： Visions Fugitives Op.22-20

The twentieth and final piece in the set conveys, as its title suggests, an unreal atmosphere, as if momentarily slipping away from reality. Within its slow tempo, quiet chords and sonorities in the upper register emerge with pauses between them. Rather than unfolding densely, the music seems to stretch time through resonance and silence. The instability created by its lack of a fixed tonal center, together with its delicate shifts in dynamics, is central to its appeal. In performance, each note should be allowed to resonate fully without haste, while avoiding a blurred pedal and carefully balancing the overlapping voices. The tension beneath the apparent stillness should be sustained, carrying the vanishing atmosphere toward the close as one continuous flow.
