About This Song
About "Prokofiev: Cinderella, Op. 87, Act 2: No. 32, Cinderella's Dance" by André Previn
Cinderella's solo dance is a study in poised longing—Previn lets the melody pirouette between hope and hesitation. The orchestration glimmers like a glass slipper, but the rhythm's slight unease suggests the fragility beneath the fairy tale, a heroine aware of the curfew.
