The Nutcracker Waltz of the Flowers, Op. 71 for Chamber Ensemble

Instrumentation: 1. 1. 1. 1 – 1. 1. 0. 0 – 1 perc, pno, hrp (ad lib) – str (single players)

Scored for a mixed chamber ensemble of 13 (or 14) instruments with top quality engraving, this is the only known version of the waltz for single strings, unlike the myriad of other reduced orchestrations available. Playable by professionals and amateurs alike, this arrangement is perfect for the holidays and practical for any situation where a full orchestra is not available. The suite and entire ballet are also available for the same instrumentation.
