The Nutcracker (Suite), Op. 71a - No. 2 Character Dances: d. Arabian dance. Allegretto

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky ( 7 May 1840 – 6 November 1893), often anglicised as Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, was a Russian composer whose works included symphonies, concertos, operas, ballets, chamber music, and a choral setting of the Russian Orthodox Divine Liturgy. Some of these are among the most popular theatrical music in the classical repertoire. He was the first Russian composer whose music made a lasting impression internationally, which he bolstered with appearances as a guest conductor later in his career in Europe and the United States. One of these appearances was at the inaugural concert of Carnegie Hall in New York City in 1891. Tchaikovsky was honored in 1884 by Emperor Alexander III, and awarded a lifetime pension in the late 1880s. [source from Wikipedia] 

This is a suite selected from the ballet, Nutcracker, and is beloved by people. There are various versions of the suite. Tchaikovsky uses the celesta as the protagonist in "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", which is the first time being used in the musical work. The ethereal sound is as the slender image of the pretty Sugar Plum Fairy dancing joyfully, knitting a dream-like world, and bringing people the unlimited imaginary spaces.
