Waltz of the Flowers - Tchaikovsky

Waltz of the Flowers, Tchaikovsky, guitar solo. The "Waltz of the Flowers" (1892) is a piece of orchestral music from the second act of The Nutcracker, a ballet composed by Tchaikovsky. Tchaikovsky told his fellow musicians he was working on a "fantastic" ballet: "It's awfully fun to write a march for tin soldiers, a waltz of the flowers, etc." Tchaikovsky made a selection of eight of the numbers from the ballet, forming The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a, intended for concert performance, which ends with the The Waltz of the Flowers. This guitar version is based on an arrangement by Bridget Mermikides. Guitar by Daryl Perry, 2018 www.perryguitars.com For more information, see www.benschenstead.com
