Composed by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Arranged by Ray Thompson. Christmas,Romantic Period. 23 pages. RayThompsonMusic #2928729. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.553474).The final movement of the Nutcracker Suite arranged for wind quintet.
(It has been arranged for various instruments and for various combinations of instruments.
Percy Aldrige 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 original orchestral piece and is quite long, and if transcribed fully would be bit of an endurance test for the wind player.
So I have made the decision to arrange this piece as an abridged version, which still maintains the feel of piece. I have removed some of the reprises of the main theme, and also removed the opening harp arpeggio.
All the original melodies are still there.
I have in certain sections omitted the relentless "oom pah pah" of the waltz., which can sound quite heavy on wind instruments.
I have attempted to give all the players places to breath, and have transcribed "tutti" all the way through.
