内容简介

Based on E. T. A. Hoffmann's The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, The Nutcracker ballet debuted in 1892 at Russia's Mariinsky Theatre. Since then, Tchaikovsky's enchanting Christmas fairy tale has become his most popular work and, along with Swan Lake, the world's most frequently performed ballet. A masterpiece of orchestration, it features the historic first use of the celesta in "Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy" and is essential study for students of orchestral combinations and effects. Musicians will rejoice in this publication of previously difficult-to-find favorites such as "Waltz of the Snowflakes" and "Spanish Dance (Chocolate)," along with the rest of this beloved score, in an affordable single-volume edition.
