About This Song
About "Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64 / Act I : Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64 / Act I: No. 18, Gavotte" by Boston Symphony Orchestra
Prokofiev's Gavotte struts with neo-classical irony, a stately dance whose elegance feels borrowed, almost mock-antique. Boston Symphony balances poise and parody, the melody's powdered wig slipping to reveal a smirk. Calm surfaces conceal a restless, modern unease.
