The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies,” written by Pyotr Tchaikovsky for his ballet “The Nutcracker,” is a famous and very popular piece of classical music.

Its catchy and charming melody has fascinated audiences for generations.

From the first few bars your listeners will need to restrain themselves from leaping out of their seats and on to the dance floor.

Piano Accompaniment

There is a total of five pages in this edition – the flute part is one page, the piano part is two pages, and so is the score .

This intermediate version contains the first 20 bars of the original composition, in the same key.  

The playing time is a little under a minute.

The flute has about 80% of the melody; the piano provides rhythm and harmonic accompaniment all the way through, with the melody given to it about 20% of the time.

 

What you get:

1. Three separate parts of the complete edition as a PDF download  – one part each for the flute and piano,  and a third containing the score (both instruments on the page. This can be useful if either the flutist or  the pianist needs to see what the other is doing);

2. A recording of the whole piece so you can hear how it should sound;

3. A backing track with just the piano, at full tempo,  so you can practise at home;
