About This Song
About "10 Pieces from Romeo and Juliet, Op. 75: V. Masks" by Behzod Abduraimov
Masks is a carnival of false faces—Prokofiev’s staccato jabs and sudden lurches. Abduraimov plays the trickster, each phrase a quick-change artist. Behind the bravado, a nervous pulse beats. The music grins, but its eyes are wary. A dazzling, unsettling whirl.
