The Nutcracker Suite (Solo Piano)

By Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Until now, the only piano score I have seen for the Nutcracker Suite has been the 1890s edition (No. 328) by Bosworth & Co., that my mother played at age 13 in 1923. Naturally, I was interested in making a comparison between the older edition, and this one. I was happy...

to discover that both scores matched very well, although I annotated this newer edition to acknowledge some extremely minor differences. It is nice to have a new, fresh copy of the score!

I enjoy it. Book arrived on time and in perfect condition. It contains good piano arrangements of the Nutcracker suite that are challenging, but not impossibly hard. Overall a great piano version of the Nutcracker Suite with good edit suggestions as well.

This collection contains the seven movements from this ballet. They are arranged for solo piano, and all the harmonies are complete and full.

Well, this is defienently not for the faint hearted! I tell you, Tchaikovsky would be very proud! I am! This piece captures the emotions of the song as well as the feeling and the timing! If you are looking for good Nutcracker music, look no further for you have found...

the best of the buisness!!

I thought that overall it is a very good piece of music. I felt satisfied after learning just a bit of each piece but I was still yearning to master more. It is very in depth and not for the beginner piano player. However, it is not to diffficult that...

it could be scarcely played. It is missing some of the songs in the nutcracker, but I do not miss them too much. However, I think that the overture in the beginning is a little uneccesary. People who would buy this version aren't looking to play in a huge performance and are mostly looking to be able to play nutcracker music. I feel that it would be more practical to replace to overture with say the Spanish dance. However, I thouroughly enjoyed the music. Thankyou
