About "Prokofiev: Cinderella, Op. 87, Act 2: No. 23, Skinny's Variation" by André Previn
Skinny's Variation flutters on a tightrope of nervous energy, pizzicato strings tiptoeing like anxious heartbeats. Prokofiev's wit cuts through the ballet's grandeur, each phrase a playful jab at the court's pomp—a character sketch etched in quicksilver.
