Prokofiev - Cinderella Suite - Cinderella's Waltz

In 1940, Prokofiev started writing his ballet Cinderella, Op. 87. The waltz theme begins with the low strings. The melody itself is a little disjointed; Prokofiev uses unexpected harmonies and chromaticism to symbolize Cinderella’s precarious situation. The sound here is full and colorful, creating the imagery of a royal ball.
