About This Song
About "Prokofiev: Cinderella, Op. 87, Act 2: No. 33, Dance of the Prince" by André Previn
The Prince's dance struts with regal confidence, brass and strings in crisp formation. Yet Previn teases out a hollow echo in the melody—a ceremonial swagger masking loneliness. It's the sound of a ballroom where everyone watches, and no one truly sees.
