About This Song
About "10 Pieces from Romeo and Juliet, Op. 75: I. Folk Dance" by Behzod Abduraimov
Prokofiev’s Folk Dance stomps and swirls—a rustic carnival seen through a modernist lens. Abduraimov brings bite and buoyancy, the piano a village band with sharp elbows. Beneath the stomp, a sly irony lurks: celebration with a raised eyebrow. Joy, but never simple.
