Designed for first-year students who are beginning to read music
notation, this music activity volume contains eight familiar
melodies from The Nutcracker Suite. All student parts are in
five-finger position and do not contain dotted rhythms or eighth
notes. Optional teacher/parent duets provide additional harmonic
and rhythmic support. The activity pages reinforce rhythm patterns,
musical terms and theory with games, puzzles and coloring pages
Three of the most outstanding waltzes from Tchaikovsky's ballet
masterpiece have been thoughtfully arranged as a 15-minute dance
suite by Carl Simpson, who also prepared the new critical edition
of the complete ballet. The final waltz is the most familar, but
the two others offer quite different perspectives on the familar
dance form from the Russian master.
Newly edited and engraved study score for the original 1877 version
of Tchaikovsky's first ballet masterpiece. Includes Preface,
Synopsis, and Cast of Characters. This is the complete orchestral
score, not a piano reduction, based upon the composer's autograph,
the first edition issued by P. Jurgenson, and the score from
Tchaikovsky's complete works. Swan Lake, Tchaikovsky's first
venture into ballet, was only moderately successful in its first
production at Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre. Choreographer Julius
Reissinger's dances were not well received, and those of his
successor Joseph Peter Hansen fared no better. The ballet was
propelled into the permanent repertoire only after a brilliant
revival mounted by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov in St. Petersburg
more than a year after Tchaikovsky's death from cholera. A new,
reasonably priced study score that will be invaluable to students,
conductors, music lovers and ballet aficionados everywhere.
Inspired by Canto V of the "Inferno" of Dante's "Divine Comedy,"
Tchaikovsky initially planned to create an opera on the subject but
abandoned the idea in favor the present 24-minute fantasia for
orchestra in 1876. Bearing all the hallmarks of the composer's late
romantic style, "Francesca da Rimini" takes full advantage of the
powerful orchestral forces employed. The first performance was
given on March 9, 1877 in Moscow, with the RMS Orchestra conducted
by Nikolay Rubinstein. This is a new, digitally enhanced reissue of
the score originally published around 1900 in Leipzig by Ernst
Eulenburg.
