About "Peter und der Wolf, Op. 67: III. Peters Freund, der kleine Vogel" by Barbara Schöneberger
A flutter of strings mimics the bird's darting flight, Schöneberger's narration bright with wonder. Prokofiev's score balances innocence and mischief, the orchestra's chirping woodwinds capturing a fragile alliance—tension coiled beneath the playful surface.
