Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Written in F major, range C4 to F6
Before the curtain rises on the Christmas party, this little overture sets the mood: quick and light, on tiptoe, like toys about to come to life. Tchaikovsky wrote it without cellos and double basses, which keeps the whole orchestra small and bright.
