About This Song
About "Prokofiev: Cinderella, Op. 87, Act 1: No. 15, Autumn Fairy" by André Previn
Autumn's fairy arrives in falling figures and amber-hued woodwinds, a harvest dance that twirls toward decay. Previn balances the movement's rustic warmth with a cool, gathering darkness, as if each rustle of strings were a leaf letting go. The tension is between abundance and loss, a golden moment already slipping.
