  • The Nutcracker is an 1892 two-act ballet, originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov with a score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Op. 71). The libretto is adapted from E. T. A. Hoffmann's story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King".

    Perhaps nothing could encapsulate the dreams and aspirations of all humanity better than this. And what would our civilization be without this miracle of fantasy.

    And to think Tchaikovsky loathed this score. He thought it worth nothing. But oh so beautiful.

      Tchaikovsky Loathed this score? I have never heard that before.

      comment. I agree with you, it is so Beautiful. Especially wonderful this
      time of year.

    4:34 and on is the moment that I hold near (the nutcracker that I dance in) and dear to my heart. The characters have left Clara is left on stage with the nut doll sitting in a chair her mother comes into the room wakes clara up and the final moment you see Clara not wanting to go with turning back and pointing. The nutcracker doll stands up and salutes. Gives me chills. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

    Such beautiful music to welcome the holidays! I remember I was 14 when I saw the world famous Long Beach Ballet production of the Nutcracker as my first ballet. Ballet was really new to me but this was the only ballet I saw in person. The production is the most acclaimed production in Southern California. It's known for it's flying sleigh, special effects and many surprises.

  • @bozartspianoarchive3546
    @bozartspianoarchive3546 Před rokem +4

    3:45 this melody came out of nowhere, just as what was thought to be the ending of the entire ballet is a whole new beautiful melody. I wonder why Tchaikovsky thought of this wonderful melody to be put in only a small section of the apotheosis. I really wish this melody could have been used somewhere else.

    • @Roccarocks
      @Roccarocks Před rokem +2

      I believe it's because, at this moment, Clara/Marie has to leave the Land of Sweets, and, by extension, her dream (or was it a dream?). It's a sense of sadness that she needs to depart this enchanted place, hence the melancholic yet ethereal tone, yet you can feel the warmth of the joy beneath it all. It's an exclusive moment in the ballet that gives rise to the fleeting uniqueness of the melody :)

      It didn't come out of nowhere, it's the exact same melody that introduces the Land of Sweets, at the beginning of Act II, it's all over the place.

    Made of musical notes, crystalline atmosphere, and pure magic; the eternally youthful embodiment of the spirit of dance . . . and yet Tchaikovsky was displeased with it. I guess genius was too close to the miracle.

Obviously there must be some real music-lovers out there, else we wouldn't be able to find these treasures on youtube.

    Actually, there's truth to both sides, and MegaAllydee was not at all ignorant. As a general rule, young people, or really any under the age of fifty, are remarkably incurious about anything outside their sad, puny little world. The veracity of a general statement does not require that all particular cases confirm it, only an overwhelming majority. Lord knows I've tried to talk culture with people and it's a losing battle. But IHateRookies is quite correct in pointing out that the cultural......
