Dance of the Reed Flutes from The Nutcracker (ballet)Pyotr Tchaikovsky38rank/position
[Songs You’ve Heard But Don’t Know the Title 24] That Song from the SoftBank Commercial – Tchaikovsky – “Dance of the Reed Flutes” from The Nutcracker – Classical Piano – CANACANA
“Dance of the Reed Pipes,” one of the numbers from The Nutcracker—one of the three great ballet scores by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky—leaves a powerful impression with the flute’s characteristically brilliant tone, rendered with delicate yet rich resonance.
However, since it is often performed on two pianos or as a piano duet, many listeners may not find a solo piano version particularly unfamiliar.
With a melody full of excitement that suggests a light, buoyant mood and an airy accompaniment, aim for a performance that preserves the atmosphere of the original while making the most of the piano’s unique qualities.
