Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Written in B minor, range F♯3 to F♯5
In the Land of Sweets, the candy kingdom of The Nutcracker, the Sugar Plum Fairy dances on tiptoe, light and glassy as spun sugar. The tinkling sound is the celesta, a new instrument Tchaikovsky found in Paris and kept secret so no other composer could use it first.
