Almost twice the length of the original orchestral version, which is very short anyway, this arrangement captures its very essence: unforgettable melody and bouncy, infectious rhythm - Tchaikovsky at his most joyful. Down from Bb major to Eb major for the sake of Clarinet 1, (the orchestral version features high flutes) the sound is full, bright and full of bounce - great fun to play as an encore. Being such a well known tune and danceable it?s well suited, too, to weddings and corporate events.Have fun?.
