Duration: 24' Composed:
2008 Published by: Alla
Pavlova Music Although it
maintains the charm of
the original Hans
Christian Andersen tale,
Alla Pavlova's Thumbelina
is a considerable
musical, visual and
narrative expansion of
the story to make it
suitable as a full-length
ballet and
family-programming
alternative to The
Nutcracker. Musically, it
is scored for full
symphony orchestra
([3,2,2,2]-[4,3,3,1]-[tim
p.,perc.]-[Hp]-[Strings],
Percussion: Bass dr.,
Snare dr., Wooden Block,
Tambourine, Triangle,
Glock., Vibraphone,
Celesta) and contains not
only many beautiful,
lyrical and moving
waltzes and other
classical themes, but
also rhythms such as
tango, boogie-woogie and
ragtime. Narratively, the
story has been adapted to
include a varied and
colorful cast of
characters. The
Thumbelina Suite (which
has been recorded by the
Tchaikovsky Symphony
Orchestra for Naxos) can

which is of course based
on the Andersen fairy
tale. We’ll gladly
