About This Song
About "Prokofiev: Cinderella, Op. 87, Act 1: No. 17, Interrupted Departure" by André Previn
The clock ticks toward midnight and the spell begins to fray. Previn conducts this interrupted departure with a nervous energy, strings scurrying like footsteps in a corridor. The music's surface is a hurried elegance, but underneath, panic rises—the terror of being seen, of the dream collapsing into ash.
