About This Song
About "Prokofiev: Cinderella, Op. 87, Act 2: No. 21, Passepied" by André Previn
A passepied for the ballroom, all powdered wigs and polite, mincing steps. Previn keeps the tempo brisk but never brittle, the woodwinds exchanging courtly pleasantries. Yet the harmony carries a sly, minor-key smirk—a dance of appearances where everyone is watching, and no one is quite what they seem.
