The Nutcracker (Suite), Op. 71a No. 1 Miniature Overture
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.
