P.I. Tchaikovsky – V. Gryaznov. Flower’s Waltz from the ballet “Nutcracker”

Vyacheslav Gryaznov arrangement of P. I. Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers from his ballet "Nutcracker." Here are his Program Notes:

"The idea of writing the transcription of Waltz of Flowers came to me while I was working on a jokey Paraphrase on themes from the Nutcracker for 4-hand piano and orchestra, ordered by a TV musical competition. In that piece, I used just some echoes of the Flowers’ Waltz, and I realized that I wanted to approach this never-to-be-forgotten music by Tchaikovsky from a different -- serious -- position and make a standalone and fully-fledged arrangement." - Vyacheslav Gryaznov

Performed May 14, 2017 in The Drozdoff Society's Impromptu Classical Music Recital Series' inaugural event at Stamford's "Fish" Church's Fellowship Hall under the auspices of Highland Green Foundation and Fish's Music Director, James Wetherald. The piano is a Mason & Hamlin C.
