The Nutcracker: Six Selections from the Suite

Fred Kern has captured the character and flavor of the favorite Tchaikovsky ballet The Nutcracker, allowing the piano soloist to portray the excitement of each segment. The six intermediate arrangements include: Overture * March * Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy * Russian Dance (Trepak) * Arabian Dance * Waltz of the Flowers. These pieces are musically satisfying, both to play and to hear.
