3 popular and easy themes by Tchaikovsky with accompaniment and chord symbols for Flute by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky Small Ensemble - Digital Sheet Music

Swan Lake is a dramatic ballet in four acts by Russian composer Piotr Ilitch Tchaikovski and with the libretto by Vladimir Begitchev and Vasily Geltzer. Its premiere took place at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow on February 20, 1877, and was a failure not because of the music, but because of the poor performance of the orchestra and dancers, as well as the choreography and set design. The ballet was commissioned by the Bolshoi Theater in 1876 and the composer soon began writing.The "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" is a dance for a ballerina. It is the third movement in The Nutcracker pas de deux. This pas de deux is from Act 2 of the 1892 ballet The Nutcracker. It is danced by the principal female dancer. The number was choreographed by Lev Ivanov to music written by Tchaikovsky.The "Waltz of the Flowers" (1892) is a piece of orchestral music from the second act of The Nutcracker, a ballet composed by Tchaikovsky. He told his fellow musicians he was working on a "fantastic" ballet called The Nutcracker: "It's awfully fun to write a march for tin soldiers, a waltz of the flowers, etc." The waltz is also the last number in his Nutcracker Suite. The "Waltz of the Flowers" is very popular. It has been arranged for various instruments and for various combinations of instruments. Percy Grainger arranged the waltz for piano solo as Paraphrase on Tchaikovsky’s Flower Waltz. Walt Disney Studios animated the waltz for the movie Fantasia.The present collection gives these three themes in a simplified and reduced version, ideal for beginners who wish to get in touch with the orchestral and operatic repertoire. It also comes with an accompanying score with chord symbols, for the teacher to play along with the student. The complete collection lasts about 3:15 min.
