About This Song
About "Prokofiev: Cinderella, Op. 87, Act 2: No. 24, Dumpy's Variation" by André Previn
Dumpy's Variation lumbers with a comic grace, bassoons and low brass trading clumsy, endearing motifs. The orchestra revels in the character's awkward charm, yet a sudden harmonic twist reminds us that even fools carry a melancholy weight.
