Nutcracker Suite op. 71a 柴科夫斯基．彼得 胡桃鉗組曲 鋼琴獨奏 朔特版

胡桃夾子組曲》是同名芭蕾舞劇音樂會版的鋼琴改編曲。柴可夫斯基在組曲中只使用了芭蕾舞劇的部分音樂。序曲和進行曲是組曲中最重要的特色舞蹈，來自芭蕾舞劇的第一幕。其餘的舞蹈來自第二幕。它們是 糖梅仙子之舞》，在原作中，主角幾乎全程都是由鋼片琴演奏的；火熱的《俄羅斯特雷派克舞》讓人想起柴可夫斯基的民族血統；《阿拉伯舞曲》帶著溫柔的憂傷；《中國舞曲》的三連音節奏；優美的《蘆笛舞曲》；最後是組曲中最長的一支： 柴可夫斯基在生命的倒數第二年創作了這首《花之圓舞曲》，展現了他與約翰-施特勞斯的音樂情結。 胡桃夾子組曲》於 1892 年 3 月 7 日在聖彼德堡俄羅斯音樂協會第九交響音樂會上首次上演，並獲得巨大成功

原文簡介:
The Nutcracker Suite is a piano arrangement of the concert version of the ballet of that name. Tchaikovsky used only part of the music for the ballet in the suite. The Overture and the March, which is the most important of the characteristic dances in the Suite, come from the first act of the ballet. The remaining dances originate from the second act. They are: The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, in which the leading part is, in the original composition, played typically by the celeste almost all the way through; the fiery Russian Trepak which reminds us of Tchaikovsky's national origins; the Arab Dance tinged with a gentle melancholy; the Chinese Dance with its ostinato triple rhythm; the graceful Dance of the Reed Flutes; and finally the longest piece in the Suite: the Waltz of the Flowers in which Tchaikovsky, writing in the penultimate year of his life, showed his musical affinity with Johann Strauss.The Nutcracker Suite was performed for the first time, with great success, on 7 March 1892 at the Ninth Symphony Concert of the Russian Musical Society in St Petersburg.
