Thank you, thank you so much. The explanation of what lies beyond the score of this ballet is simply beautiful and so tremendous. I so much liked this composer as a youngster, I like him still. I now understand why I like particularly those melodies in the ballet that were far from cheerful (like at Christmas). I used to read about his life, but did not know the circumstances under which he composed this piece. Thank you💚
I do not have a musical background, but I always wondered why there seemed to be a “disconnect “ in the flow of melodies within the Nutcracker. After viewing the video link, I have the explanation.
Thank you.
