Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) Neoclassical Period

Igor Stravinsky’s Neoclassical period (roughly from the 1920s to the mid-1950s) marked a return to classical forms and styles, influenced by the music of composers like Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Beethoven, but still encapsulating Stravinsky’s unique style. This period emerged after the completion of his ballets, The Firebird, Petrushka, and The Rite of Spring, which were…

one true love - na jaemin

listen to: symphony no. 2 in E minor, op. 27: iii. adagio by sergei rachmaninoff, royal concertgebouw orchestra, vladimir ashkenazy genre: fluff, hopelessly in love prince!jaemin wc: 715 warnings: written in lowercase only

there you are: spinning in the arms of another and the end of your massive ball gown catching glimmer of the chandeliers above. your painted smile is all a show for the entire ballroom to feast on and you're wondering when this song will end.

in the crowd, your eyes lock with prince jaemin immediately and he doesn't shy away from your dazed stare. he marvels back, bidding you a gentle grin before the prince in your arms calls for your attention.

"you stare with admiration in your eyes, my boy." jaemin's mother whispers and slyly taps the back of his hand after witnessing the exchange in looks.

jaemin does not draw his focus away for you, center of the ballroom and breathtakingly stealing the show. "is it obvious, mother?" he chuckles, rolling his lips together and hungry for a turn to dance with you.

but not here. not where there are too many gawking eyes and envious suitors. he wishes for a dance under the moonlight, where the only spectacles would be the stars and the trees. a time where only he can see that beautiful smile of yours brightly on your face.

"i'm your mother. anything you do is obvious to me." she touches up the bang on his forehead and he looks over, seeking guidance from the only person he knew to ever find a true love.

"what should i do?"

"you should stop being cowardly and get your dance." his lungs are full of confidence and he hurries to catch you before another prince can ask for your hand. jaemin practically slides across the floor, clumsily standing right before your widen expression.

"prince jaemin-"

"may we dance?" he says, breathlessly, and extends his palm out for your taking. your heart drums at the grand offer and you simply nod, following him out to the courtyard where you two usually meet.

eagerly, you two find yourself in a more comfortable position compared to the rest of the princes you danced with this evening. his hand is placed delicately on your upper back and he intertwines your fingers high in the sky.

the moonlight is enough to illuminate the two of you, as you're both softly swaying to the sound of crickets and the light breeze. there is no music, but there doesn't need to be with jaemin. he is the only person in this entire kingdom that doesn't need distracting gimmicks to fall right into him.

"seeing you dance with all the ones that do not deserve you, it really did not settle well with me." jaemin speaks in a hush, as if disrupting the night with any decibel higher. your cheek lays on his chest and the sound of jaemin's heart play a soft tune for you. it's quick, but steady.

"well, what took you so long then?" you snicker, peering up at him with eyes full of wonder and curiosity.

he clears his throat, looking away and up at the stars. when he looks back down at you, the stars had found themselves a new place to shine. it's the first time you've seen such a twinkle in someone else's eyes. "princess, it would be disrespectful of me to not wait my turn as much as i wanted to sweep you away."

"ah, you're a fair prince." you giggle and jaemin only wishes to hear it again.

"i am also a patient one, i would wait a lifetime for you." you both come to a halt as the atmosphere between the two of you grow serious and full of love.

he has fallen silent under your intense gaze, "my dear, a lifetime is far too long to wait for someone."

however, he disputes it. "a lifetime to wait for one's true love is worth every second." and in this very moment, as jaemin holds you under the night sky and the bustling indoors only grow louder, you can hear your heart in your ears so loudly.

in this very moment, you fall so deeply in love with the prince before you. with the man who looks at you with twinkling stars in his pupils and a graceful smile, the man who loves you as deeply. the love that burns in your chest feels true and solely exists with prince jaemin.
