  • The Nutcracker is a two-act ballet, with a score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Tchaikovsky made a selection of eight of the numbers from the ballet, forming The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a, intended for concert performance. The Nutcracker Suite should not be mistaken for the complete ballet. The outline below represents the selection and sequence of the Nutcracker Suite culled by the composer.
    I. Miniature Overture 0:00
    II. Danses caractéristiques
    --a. Marche 3:29
    --b. Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy 5:59
    --c. Russian Dance (Trepak) 7:47
    --d. Arabian Dance 8:58
    --e. Chinese Dance 12:04
    --f. Reed-Flutes 13:05
    III. Waltz of the Flowers 15:15

      @@murphyjacob6759 Do not use adblock. It may seem like a good solution for avoiding ads now, but because of adblocks youtube and other websites doesn't earn enough money form their ads. Therefore more and more sites will transition to a subscription based service, and maybe youtube will too. They have allready begun using two ads in a row to get the most out of their ads, and they are offering a paid service without ads, and if we continue to use adblocks, maybe all of youtube will be accesable only to paying users.

      I am going to be the annoying person here and mention that Tchaikovsky was actually from the Romantic Period (One of my favourites). Although this music may sound quite similar to Classical, it has a lot more emotion (created by dynamic changes etc.) which is what helps make it so interesting. So there's a bit of music history for you all, and again, sorry for getting all technical.

    (Edited. I've learned a lot of classical pieces and some composers from Tom and Jerry films. I am so grateful that I had a wonderful childhood, and that I get to hear these beautiful pieces when I was young because honestly, our music class before wasn't keen enough to let us hear the pieces of the composers they taught us about.)

      Tchaikovsky was decently satisfied with the music, otherwise he wouldn’t have allowed it to be used in the ballet. The show itself was not successful when it was first premiered. That’s why he chose several pieces from it to preserve for the future. That’s known now as The Nutcracker Suite.

So unjust that for several decades his music was held in contempt by those 'in the know'. It is great to learn that new and younger people are warming to him too. He would be so glad to know that his endeavours were not in vain...He was surely one of the greatest composers of music.

    I love Tchaikovsky's music so much, he is my favorite composer. I am not very knowledgeble in classical music but I know he has the reputation of being one if not the best melodist and I think this is the best example: of the eight parts listed in the description, 5 of them are very recognasiable and iconic to me. If I had to choose one word to describe he music I would choose fantasy because it's the first music I listened to that gives me escapism the same way books and tv shows do. His music transport me to a fantasy. Even though in my family we never had very happy christmas, the Nutcracker Suite reminds me of memories i never had of christmas.
    Also at first I didn't like this part: 18:41 but know it's my favorite part it immerses me in a different world (I especially like it in another recording)

    Tchaikovsky is the greatest of them all because of his astounding versatility. This magnificent ballet and his 2 other brilliant ballets, opera, symphonies, concertos, choral, chamber, stand alone masterworks like Capriccio Italien and one of the first great modern song writers (None But the Lonely Heart).

    It's one thing to master a single instrument and then experiment with its many sounds; if your are VERY good you might create one enduring tune. This man pulled all of these instruments together to create a timeless classic, then did that over and over again, all without recording equipment to play it back or a mixing board to make quick adjustments. That's an absolute genius.

    This opening piece and the moors dance are my absolute favorite parts of the nutcracker. I remember many times seeing this work with my family, an American tradition. The Nutcracker is obviously a supreme example of a single composition being with many simply though brilliant melodic ideas.
