An engaging short version of Tchaikovsky's balletic masterpiece, containing many of the ballet's most beloved themes, suitable for orchestras of modest forces (student orchestra, theatre orchestra, etc.).

INSTRUMENTATION: flute, oboe, 2 clarinets, 2 trumpets, trombone, percussion, accordion, piano-conductor, violin I (possible conductor], violin II, viola cello, and contrabass.

All other parts are present, though there are not duplicate copies… Read More
