Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
In B♭ major, range F1 to B♭3
In The Nutcracker’s Land of Sweets, Tea dances for Clara and the Prince: quick, bright flute runs and trills skip lightly over a bassoon figure that ticks along like a clock. Tchaikovsky conducted the suite in St Petersburg in March 1892, nine months before the whole ballet premiered.
