About This Song

About "Visions fugitives, Op. 22: Pittoresco" by Arthur Rubinstein

Prokofiev’s ‘Pittoresco’ is a jolt of grotesque color—Rubinstein plays it with a wink and a snarl, the piano a puppet theater of sudden leaps and sly pauses. The fleeting vision is all sharp angles and whimsy, a carnival mask that slips to reveal something unsettling.
