Trepak (Intermediate Version)

Sheet music for the Trepak from The Nutcracker, by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Based on a traditional Russian folk dance, this fast, vivacious number remains one of the best-known pieces from Tchaikovsky. Since its composition in 1892, both as an orchestral suite and a fully-staged ballet, the Nutcracker has enjoyed worldwide popularity. The Trepak showcases his typical tunefulness and mastery of orchestral color, and as a piano piece, it is no less recognizable. Intermediate-level arrangement by Aron Bernstein, 4 pages.
