The album is not just piano scores for practice, but also brilliant concert pieces arranged by other composers and virtuosos, as well as unexpected small piano pieces that were later appropriated for ballet pieces.\n\n\n\nThe main piece is \"The Nutcracker,\" arranged by Tchaikovsky's favorite pupil Taneyev. Tchaikovsky is said to have complained about the difficulty of this piece, and there has been no proper recording of it until now.The pas de deux that Burgmuller, known for his piano exercises, inserted into Adan's \"Giselle\" and the last waltz in \"Cinderella,\" which Johann Strauss devoted himself to but left unfinished in the year of his death, are also of interest to classical music fans.\n\n\n\nIn addition, Gunma-born Yoko Kikuchi has recorded her own dance piece, \"Yagi-bushi,\" with an effective arrangement by Yahiro Nakamura. The music and performance will overturn your image of her, and you will discover new charms in her music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52191898501409,"sku":"4988003664275","price":37.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/zaP5_G3908656W.jpg?v=1773339598","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ca\/products\/4988003664275","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
