About This Song

About "Prokofiev: Cinderella, Op. 87, Act 3, Scene 1: No. 39, The Prince and the Cobblers" by André Previn

The Prince and the cobblers open Act Three with a comic, clattering march—woodwinds mimicking clumsy footsteps. Previn keeps the tone wry but restless, the search for the slipper becoming a nervous pursuit. Beneath the buffoonery, a quiet desperation hums.
