Here are all the movements of the beloved Suite, along with the rest of this holiday favorite, in which a brave and loyal little girl's toy is transformed into a prince who accompanies her into a magical world. Suitable for performers,rehearsal pianists, and all admirers of Tchaikovsky's art, this inexpensive edition of a perennial favorite will enchant players and listeners alike.
