Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
In D minor, range A1 to A3
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.
