Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky Bücher

Klara bekommt von ihrem geheimnisvollen Patenonkel Drosselmeyer am Weihnachtsabend einen schönen Nussknacker geschenkt. In der folgenden Nacht hat sie einen merkwürdigen Traum: Spielzeugsoldaten und Nussknacker kämpfen gegen das Heer des bösen Mausekönigs. Als dieser besiegt ist, verwandelt sich der Nussknacker in einen hübschen Prinzen. Beide geraten in einen heftigen Schneesturm und flüchten ins Schloss Konfektenburg, in dem die Zuckerfee ein herrlich süßes Fest mit vielen Tänzen feiert. Das weltbekannte Märchenballett von Peter Tschaikowsky (1840–1893), am 18. Dezember 1892 in Sankt Petersburg uraufgeführt, basiert auf einer Erzählung von E. T. A. Hoffmann und wird mit Spannung und Witz für Kinder ab fünf Jahren von Bert Alexander Petzold neu erzählt. Die fröhlichen Bilder der Illustratorin Rita Atlas lassen uns die bekannte Geschichte neu entdecken. Das Buch erscheint innerhalb der Serie »Große Klassik kinderleicht. DIE ZEIT-Edition«.

Der populäre Komponist Peter Tschaikowsky war, was wenig bekannt ist, ebenfalls als Professor für Musiktheorie und Harmonielehre am Moskauer Konservatorium tätig. Frucht seines Unterrichts ist u.a. der 1872 in Moskau gedruckte Leitfaden zum praktischen Erlernen der Harmonie . Dieses Lehrwerk spielte eine wichtige Rolle in der russischen Musikausbildung. Das Werk ist sehr umfassend und leicht verständlich geschrieben. Auch den heutigen Lesern ist es ein interessantes und nützliches Werk.

Tschaikowskys "Nussknacker" gehört zu den Balletten, die sich wegen der hübschen Märchenhandlung und der eingängigen Musik gerade auch bei Kindern großer Beliebtheit erfreuen. Hans-Günter Heumann hat die schönsten Melodien dieses Balletts für Kinder leicht bearbeitet. Durch ergänzende Texte und durchgehend farbige Illustrationen gewinnt diese Ausgabe zusätzlich an Reiz. Schwierigkeitsgrad: 2-3

This unique documentary biography is the first to draw on the composer's own private documents -- over 5,000 letters, his diaries, and articles -- to present the most complete and compelling picture ever of his turbulent life and work. Linking the documents with concise, explanatory comments, Orlova charts chronologically the events of his life and sheds new light on all aspects of his personality, including his methods of working and his views on such subjects as philosophy, religion, literature, and music. Of particular interest is the clear evidence Orlova presents for the theory that Tchaikovsky did not die of cholera in 1893, but committed suicide to preserve his honor and cover up a personal scandal. Suppressed in the Russian edition of the book, the suicide theory has since been corroborated by another source and receives its fullest exposition to date in this English-language edition

The key has been transposed to G minor for better accessibility and the percussion parts have been retained. This will be a fabulous addition to the string orchestra program.

(Piano Solo). My First Tchaikovsky contains easy and intermediate level piano pieces beginning with a selection from the Album for the Young Op. 39. The pieces from the cycle The Seasons and 12 Pieces of medium difficulty as well as the arrangements from the ballet The Nutcracker with their more demanding piano writing are easy to master by advanced players. Ideal for teaching and playing at home. Great works for little masters!

Chromatic passages, basic shifting, and a variety of rhythmic patterns make for a challenging romp through one of Tchaikovsky's most-loved symphonic works.

The key has been transposed to G minor for better accessibility and the percussion parts have been retained. This will be a fabulous addition to the string orchestra program.

From String Quartet No. 1, this is sure to be a best-seller. This beautiful arrangement is quite accessible to advanced-intermediate students. Will require treble and tenor clef reading for upper parts.

The book presents a newly edited orchestral suite derived from a renowned ballet, originally envisioned by the composer but never fully realized. It includes all movements from the 1900 Jurgenson edition and the 1954 Soviet version, which added three dance movements while omitting the finale. The comprehensive score aims to unify these differing interpretations, providing a complete representation of the suite's rich musical heritage.

The newly edited study score presents Tchaikovsky's original 1877 orchestral score for his first ballet, Swan Lake, featuring a Preface, Synopsis, and Cast of Characters. This complete score, based on the composer's autograph and earlier editions, highlights the ballet's initial struggles for acceptance at the Bolshoi Theatre and its eventual revival by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov in St. Petersburg. The score serves as a valuable resource for students, conductors, and ballet enthusiasts, offering insights into this iconic work's history and significance.
