About This Song
About "Prokofiev: Cinderella, Op. 87, Act 1: No. 6, The Sisters' New Clothes" by André Previn
The Sisters' New Clothes bustles with catty energy, Prokofiev's tart woodwinds and clipped rhythms sketching vanity and rivalry. Previn keeps the pace brisk and brittle, the music's surface glitter barely concealing the petty cruelty beneath—a comic interlude with a sting.
