The ballet Nutcracker is a fairy tale full of childlike interest, which tells the story of the little girl Martha on Christmas Eve (what? You don't know what a nutcracker is? That's ... that's ... the pliers for pressing walnuts), but my brother broke it. Late at night, Martha heard strange sounds in her sleep, and countless little mice flooded into the room. At this time, the humanoid nutcracker led the toys to fight with the mice. Seeing that the nutcracker was gradually exhausted because of the injury (already broken), Martha took off her shoes and threw them hard, killing the mouse king. When the dark magic was lifted, the nutcracker became a beautiful prince and took Martha to the kingdom of the candy fairy, where they were warmly welcomed by all kinds of cakes, biscuits and sweets (all edible things).
The Nutcracker Suite was selected by Tchaikovsky himself, with eight pieces. At first, it was a "little overture", a simple and lively little March. Music is light, lively, bright, clear, elegant and sweet, full of childlike happiness. Then there are six characteristic dances. First, the second "March", children queue up in front of the Christmas tree to receive presents; This piece of music is very similar to the style of "Little Overture". Its melody is light and lively, its rhythm is lively and enthusiastic, and it is full of festive joy. In the third "Candy Fairy Dance", Martha and the prince came to the candy kingdom and were welcomed by candy fairies and all kinds of cakes. In this passage, Tchaikovsky used the crisp and bright timbre of the piano to create a unique dreamy color. Music is delicate, sweet and moving, sweet as candy and transparent as glass. The fourth paragraph is "Russian Trepak Dance", which is a dance full of passion and vitality. The tambourine plays a fast rhythm, and the music is full of energy and unrestrained, ending with a rapid rotation. The fifth paragraph "Arabic Dance: Coffee" is a lazy and lingering Arabic style dance music. The music is soft, gentle, elegant and lingering, vividly depicting a hot and greasy exotic picture. The sixth paragraph "Chinese Dance Music: Tea" is a humorous and lively dance music. The music is fresh and lively, and the clumsy bassoon follows the cheerful dance steps of the flute, but to be honest, it has nothing to do with China. In the seventh paragraph of Reed Flute Dance, the shepherd boy plays the reed flute; The flute plays a lively theme, and the music is lively, lively and sweet. Finally, the eighth paragraph is Waltz of Flowers, which adopts a three-part form. After the harp stretches smoothly, the basic theme of the waltz is played by the horn, and the music is warm and soft, solemn and elegant, elegant and elegant. The middle part of the music is wider, warmer and smoother; After the basic theme is reproduced, it is a short ending full of joy and passion.
Tchaikovsky's works are full of fairy-tale dreamy colors, among which the lively and cheerful rhythm, exquisite and beautiful melody and distinctive clear and transparent timbre have left an indelible impression on people.
