Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy (from The Nutcracker Suite)

Steiner level III 1/2. A perfect selection for a holiday recitals or other gatherings, this D minor arrangement of Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet piece will give the intermediate level pianist a lot of enjoyment and a nice challenge in artistic touch and dynamics. There is movement in both hands, quite a few accidentals, delicate phrasing, and a wide use of the keyboard.
