"The piece, with its broad Russian songfulness and soft coloring, reminds us once again of Prokofiev's great lyrical gift and the soil of his melodism. The music of this charming piece is saturated with genuine humanity, purity and nobility of feeling. Subsequently, the author used it as the theme of love between Katerina and Danila in the ballet The Tale of the Stone Flower, making it one of the most important leitmemes of the entire ballet."
