[ri394]

[noniez011]

i keep repeating it over and over

[civreal]

@catgirl954 The violin part is better and hard as hell haha

[usabritcouple]

Tchaikovsky's masterpiece! Exquisite!!

[broadwaymelody33]

Is it weird that THIS is my favorite selection from the ballet? It's so nostalgic.

[superbirdlover111]

@broadwaymelody33 It's not weird at all.

[cochranexyz]

I listen to this all year. I never get tired of it.

[queenoftheuniverse]

@cochranexyz I played >500 times and never got tired of it. I'm a bassist so I had the joy of just listening to my colleagues play the overture.

[PanthereMauV]

I just came from the opera. The choregraph was created by John Neumeier. And it was so damn beautiful that the tears were falling without me noticing it.. :')

[XxGoddessofSorrowxX]

I Love the Nutcracker. In gr5 my teacher gave me the story for xmas...n every year i read it over the christmas holiday. n i havnt missed a year since ^_^ 9 years n still going!

[HanoverianHorse]

Merry Christmas.

Nothing evokes the spirit of the festive season in quite the same way as this :)

[meganroo21]

@catgirl954 Oh my gosh me too! I'm practicing it right now! :)

[greyoctopus]

moral of the story: ballet ftw

[kelsiegirl19]

i remember for our performance, i was the maid who had to set up the christmas tree while this overture played. They told me to "pretend-trip" over the boxes in a graceful manner. That did not happen.

[A3neas]

Hurry up Christmas! God I hate the summer!

[hanitaafu]

Im learning this on piano!! Its superfun to play :3

[mrsbookthief]

ah, childhood memories of ballet class :'-)

[KRAZYKEMIST017]

I have been lookin for this song for the longest. And I found it

[spishspashsposh]

i was ill when we did the nut cracker in my ballat classes. :'(

[angellguardiandl0111]

this always reminds me of when I was little and got stuck going to licoln center to see the ballet. Thankfully I grew up and grew into real culture called Sam Adams and sports namely the Sox, Celtics, Bruins and Patriots!

[SM3X1T]

[superdawsoncreek]

I'm a very good ballet dancer and this is the song I'm dancing to at a Christmas concert

[TTimCurry93]

I'm about to play this piece in a piano quartet :)

[Gideon235]

Funnily enough, Tchaikovsky hated this ballet intensely, but it's the most popular thing he ever wrote.

[MNWildHockey100]

best nutcracker song

[sk8ingchamp]

this overture is fun to play!

[labelhaveabagel]

I play Piano, and I'm playing this piece as a duet. I love it so much :) Also, I went to the ballet with my mom, and I loved it a lot. I wish I could see it again. And I also have the Movie, (of the ballet) and I have the whole ballet on disk. I love the music so much I listen to it if I'm not able to sleep. It is one of my favorite pieces!

[WishGirl198]

does anyone have the sheet music for this on flute?

[LiltaLilloth]

God, I love this overture, and the ballet too. It's just amazing, there's no words to describe it.

[happybunni15]

I love this music-its brilliant. My favorite is the dance of the sugarplum fairy though.

[madocat98]

great

[Star2Be5394]

sigh...i absolutely love the overture of the nutcracker. Tchaikovsky was a total genius with this ballet. i'm in the nutcracker this year, and i love hearing this every time we rehearse. :)

[Sailorstayfree]

I love Giselle overture too! saludos esde caracas venezuela!

[sempaischibi]

[ICanShootRealGoodly]

I love this ballet, my mother took me to see it when I was little. Since then, I've dreamed about being a ballerina.
