Based on
Alexander Dumas'
adaptation of E. T. A.
Hoffman's story The
Nutcracker and the Mouse
King, the ballet
premiered in December of
1892 in St. Petersburg,
Russia. Tchaikovsky
selected eight pieces
from the ballet and
created The Nutcracker
Suite, which became an
immediate success and to
this day remains one of
the most popular ballets,
and contains some of the
best-loved Christmas
music. This suite of
three selected short
movements scored
especially for beginners
includes March, Dance of
the Reed Flutes, and
Russian Dance (Trepak).
The movements can be
performed individually or
together. A superb
classical transcription
for teaching and
performance to be
programmed during the
holidays or any time of
the year. (3:45).
