About This Song
About "Prokofiev: Cinderella, Op. 87, Act 2: No. 36, Duet of the Prince and Cinderella" by André Previn
The Prince and Cinderella's duet is Prokofiev at his most tender and evasive—melodies entwine but never quite settle. Previn balances warmth with a shiver of uncertainty, as if the couple knows the clock is against them. A love scene scored with a hidden countdown.
