Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
In F major, range E2 to F4
In The Nutcracker’s Land of Sweets, a group of shepherdesses made of marzipan trips in playing toy pipes, light and dainty, until a darker tune rumbles through the middle. Its French name, Danse des mirlitons, comes from the mirliton, a toy pipe that buzzes like a kazoo.
