You don't need to be intelligent to listen to beautiful music like this, just a pair of ears and an open heart. One of my favourite pieces of classical music. So glad it's on You Tube :)
Can you believe that Tchaikovsky actually hated The Nutcracker? He thought it was silly and not very good. I call BS. The Nutcracker and its music is one of the modern staples of Christmas, at least where I live. Everyone knows these songs, even if they don't know the names or who they are by. Thank you, Russian dude!

We played this in my orchestra as part of a 'Themes from Nutcracker', consisting of Dance of the Mirlitons, Waltz of the Flowers, and this. Everyone didn't like Waltz of the Flowers because we played it so slow, I thought I would grow old and die before it was finished. But we loved this one so much, we started playing too loud.
0:52, the note that says "This is Thcaikosky, by the way" ruined it for me. i was so into the music... and then that happens. stupid note for stupid people. ruined.
Ah, how I love the Russian romantic music. Of all of the styles of classical music there are, the romantic pieces are without a doubt my favorite. So that I don't confuse anyone, when I say "romantic," I don't mean love; I'm talking about Romanticism, lol. We played this piece just a few days ago at a concert, and it made me wish that we had played all of Tchaikovsky's Festival Overture...
This song makes me wanna take adderall, pound a red bull, rush to the stores on Black Friday and trample on top of shoppers to save $3 on a microwave at Target.
You would think I would get tired of this song, since it's so overused in Christmas commercials and movies/trailers, but I never will. One of my favorite songs ever!
@moltoallegro19 Don't worry, Classical music is public domain now! The only thing you'd have to worry about is the image, and even then, it looks like something too old to fall under copyright too.
@Zir0nix MOST of the classical repertoire is public domain (there are classical composers today, too), but there is an orchestra who's recorded this under a conductor, in co-operation with a record company. These people own the rights to this recording and me uploading it on youtube might be considered a violoation against these rights. Most often it's not a problem and they let you be, but almost all of my 293 videos have been recognised to contain copyrighted material.
@moltoallegro19 Oh, okay cool. :) Sorry~ I was just going by what our teachers tell us in terms of using Classical music in our films. This is good to know!
@Zir0nix I don't make that post for no reason. I've already recieved two "strikes" from the youtube administration. Three - and they close my account.
In 1892, Pyotr Tchaikovsky sat down to scribble this piece by the dim glow of candlelight, envisioning it as part of a sublime ballet--having absolutely no idea that in one hundred years it would instead be primarily known as "that music that plays during every Christmas comedy trailer ever made."
@SirWilly77 usually cheesy comedy with a cheesy villan and in the in the protagonist finds out that family is the best thing to have and the movie ends lol
This is awesome piece of music and the dance of the russian is very hard does anyone who commented on this even know how to do what is called the "Russian move" it is actulley Ucraine but it is also considered to be russian.
Sorry, my question probably made me seem pretty clueless (though I'd like to believe that I'm not). What I mean was who were the conductor/orchestra who recorded this version?
Love this piece, but hate that it's in EVERY COMMERCIAL for "family" Christmas comedies that are really two hours of predictable characters learning that their families are all they want and defying cheesy antagonists.
wow, 17, total non-conformist right there! Glad 2 see peer pressure doesnt work on you, and I bet your not one of those boring types either u prob "got a finger in each pie" so to speak: gamer junkie, classic music conessuire, sporty jock, or working on a bombed up car - either way enjoy life your own way XD !!@Cowfarmer247
I believe Classical music is more widespread and genuienly loved by younger people then people realise. Think about it, these songs come up in currently films, and old family favourites, I'm sure this exact song was used in one of the disney cartoons.
We all know music, smells, and other stimili remind us of what else we had on that day (associating grandma with that smell her house always has, etc)
childhood memories, and those patterns are what the mind craves to piece together the world
OMG seriously some of my past favorite artists would make one GREAT song but the rest they made were just "meh". But Tchaikovsky made SO MANY great songs.
Whenever I come home after college with nothing but the desire to sleep, I hear this, it makes me feel jumpy and wanna dance.. Better than coffee, and healthier too! :)
For any of you that are interested in the theory of musical form behind this, the sequence of phrases works in this order: A B A B A B A B C D C D E A B A B F
Simplified: ||: A - B :||x4 ||: C-D :||x2 -E- ||: A - B :|| -F-
One of the most repetitive, but effective pieces I know =)
@miiwiiplay Indeed, however, I doubt anyone other than you or myself will have an interest or an understanding in the theory. It is very repetitive, however, that is simply because of the form it is in. For instance, Rondos, always have a ABACABA style. The repetitiveness makes it clear to understand. If it continued randomly into another series it would be like improvising without any ground rules or base melodies. Besides, it's theater music.
@VladtheImpaler31 The piece is not repetitive because of it's form, rather is it labled to a certain form because of it's repetitivity. And Rondo is not ABACABA, but ABACADA etc. :)
@VladtheImpaler31 Well, actually, it's AB(C)BABD; the B-theme is constructed in lied-form. But you're right, I looked it up and ABACABA is a type of rondo (symmetrical rondo, to be correct, while the form I suggested is called asymmetrical rondo). I ussually referr to ABACABA as ritornello-form (which is kinda right, but is rarely used about any other type of music than baroque). My apologies.
@VladtheImpaler31 Agreed. One of the things that bothers me about the later romantic era is the excess of extended period forms. These forms really can only be appreciated if you study the piece. Just passively listening to the music just sounds like random phrases one after another in any odd order. Tchaikovsky is, luckily, a master of melody, so even his simple forms can be admired. In fact, if the melodies were structured too much more complex, they would lose their appeal in my opinion.
@miiwiiplay Some of my favorite composers from and near that era is Rachmaninov (master of the symphony) and Debussy. I've never truly examined Debussy's works except for Clair De Lune and Arabesque No 1. However, Rachmaninov continues to amaze me.
@VladtheImpaler31 Debussy is one of my favorite composers, also. He is one of the first ot start the french impressionist era of music, and thus, his music is quite unique. Check out his pastoral for viola harp and flute. Theres a good video of it here on youtube. This piece in particular uses mostly the most unused scale in musical history. The locrian mode. It's used in a way that makes passive listening enjoyable.

For any of you that are interested in the theory of musical form behind this, the sequence of phrases works in this order: A B A B A B A B C D C D E A B A B F
Simplified: ||: A - B :||x4 ||: C-D :||x2 -E- ||: A - B :|| -F-
One of the most repetitive, but effective pieces I know =)

@miiwiiplay Indeed, however, I doubt anyone other than you or myself will have an interest or an understanding in the theory. It is very repetitive, however, that is simply because of the form it is in. For instance, Rondos, always have a ABACABA style. The repetitiveness makes it clear to understand. If it continued randomly into another series it would be like improvising without any ground rules or base melodies. Besides, it's theater music.

@VladtheImpaler31 The piece is not repetitive because of it's form, rather is it labled to a certain form because of it's repetitivity. And Rondo is not ABACABA, but ABACADA etc. :)

@moltoallegro19 The are several variants, however, one prime example is the Rondo Alla Turca which is ABACABA.

@VladtheImpaler31 Well, actually, it's AB(C)BABD; the B-theme is constructed in lied-form. But you're right, I looked it up and ABACABA is a type of rondo (symmetrical rondo, to be correct, while the form I suggested is called asymmetrical rondo). I ussually referr to ABACABA as ritornello-form (which is kinda right, but is rarely used about any other type of music than baroque). My apologies.

@VladtheImpaler31 Agreed. One of the things that bothers me about the later romantic era is the excess of extended period forms. These forms really can only be appreciated if you study the piece. Just passively listening to the music just sounds like random phrases one after another in any odd order. Tchaikovsky is, luckily, a master of melody, so even his simple forms can be admired. In fact, if the melodies were structured too much more complex, they would lose their appeal in my opinion.

@miiwiiplay Some of my favorite composers from and near that era is Rachmaninov (master of the symphony) and Debussy. I've never truly examined Debussy's works except for Clair De Lune and Arabesque No 1. However, Rachmaninov continues to amaze me.

@VladtheImpaler31 Debussy is one of my favorite composers, also. He is one of the first ot start the french impressionist era of music, and thus, his music is quite unique. Check out his pastoral for viola harp and flute. Theres a good video of it here on youtube. This piece in particular uses mostly the most unused scale in musical history. The locrian mode. It's used in a way that makes passive listening enjoyable.
