How many unforgettable melodies will be there in your piece?
Tchaikovsky: Yes
How good is the piece?
Tchaikovsky: "YES
Tchaikovsky always yes!"
Tchaikovsky No always has been...
Tchaikovsky was so good at composing melodies. One of the best in the history of human kind.

@@fakename3440 ikr. Its so full of life and energy.
I am going to be the annoying person here and mention that Tchaikovsky was actually from the Romantic Period (One of my favourites). Although this music may sound quite similar to Classical, it has a lot more emotion (created by dynamic changes etc.) which is what helps make it so interesting. So there's a bit of music history for you all, and again, sorry for getting all technical.

I'm not sure if this works, since I use an adblocker and don't get them anyways
Blame music companies for copyrighting the video :/
Use uBlock Origin. It's free and a lot better than any other adblockers in my opinion
@@murphyjacob6759 Do not use adblock. It may seem like a good solution for avoiding ads now, but because of adblocks youtube and other websites doesn't earn enough money form their ads. Therefore more and more sites will transition to a subscription based service, and maybe youtube will too.

Imagine that time, there was no technology to record his music. The only way you could experience it was going to a performance, the only way of preserving these amazing pieces of music was by writing it down.
I would pay my life to attend his concert if i lived that age
recording is just a writing for computer to play on speakers too
People tend to romanticise that time period - truth is, you wouldn't get to experience this then. You'd likely be poor as shit like 99% of the population back then and living in filth.
Phương Nguyễn imagine all the peasants and the commoners who really wanted to go and listen but can’t afford to listen to classical performances...
Must suck u cant listen to his music without a but load of money 😂

Has anyone here remembered 'Tom and Jerry: A Nutcraker Tale'?
This became so memorable to me because of this childhood movie.
(Edited. I've learned a lot of classical pieces and some composers from Tom and Jerry films. I am so grateful that I had a wonderful childhood, and that I get to hear these beautiful pieces when I was young because honestly, our music class before wasn't keen enough to let us hear the pieces of the composers they taught us about.)
Same, but especially on The Arabian dance song.
I was talking about that with my sis a couple days ago,such a good movie
I remember watching that movie around 10 years ago and that, along with other Tom and Jerry works made me appreciate the beauty that is the classical genre and boy am I grateful for that.
Oh wow, I haven't seen that one in sooooo long
Ye I remember that, an actual pretty good film

Fun fact: At first when Tchaikovsky composed this, he thought it was so ugly that he actually was about to burn it, until someone (I don’t know who) convinced him to keep these beautiful pieces.
P.S After Covid, I encourage people to watch the play “the nutcracker”. It’s beautiful.
Oooh interesting!
Lol, after covid....
So now we know that Tchaïkovsky, despite being talented, had very bad taste 🤐
I heard that he just hated it at first, but after his sister's death he used the nutcracker as an outlet and stopped hating it for obvious reasons
Why wait?????
Hard to believe Tchaikovsky wasn't pleased with this.. One of the best Russian classical music composers.
Must have been very hard to please
Composers can be very odd, and intensely critical of their own work: really surprises me that he hated this and almost destroyed it. This is my favorite masterpiece in all of classical music!
It can be hard for common people to understand creative and extraordinary nature.

@@shubhammavani1645 no bts songs are the grabge...these classical pieces are legendary.
I like when classical composers used unusual instruments in their compositions, such as the celeste in "Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy." Tchaikovsky did that a lot. Hard to top the cannon though.
First time I listened to the 1812 overture I was unaware of the cannons. Scared the fuck out of me

I wonder if Tchaikovsky realized, when he was alive, that his name would endure through history as one of the greatest composers of all time?
*history's greatest composer
Don't think so considering most composers get credits for their work AFTER they died
Christopher Halim Yeah. Btw: Doctor Who!
beethoven rolled over and told him the news
GreenReaperTT I see what you did there you sly dog.. XD
I am grateful my grandpa taught me to appreciate this music genre, also this musician and many others, before he let go of his mortal coil. Thanks Grumpy-gramps.
I am a rock musician, but this music is phenomenal, absolute ear candy!!
Indeed
Wait did this guy just created all my childhood music in one movement and he is dissatisfied with it?
He wasn't dissatisfied with it, everyone else was.
A lot of musicians are kinda dissatisfied with their creations
I don't mean like completely dissatisfied but at a low level , yes
I think this is probably because they somewhat know of even greater melodies but they just can't fully comprehend or understand how to put it together
the final work is somewhere between the actual thing and it's Shadow
And normal people completely adore the final product because they probably couldn't even think of the final product's Shadow
@@zedankhan6123 edgy as fuck but I get it
@@jackminto7062 He was actually, he said it was "infinitely inferior to Snow White" (his previous ballet)
Probably not enough cannons.
Hard to believe Tchaikovsky wasn't pleased with this.
SeanusAurelius he was pleased with the Suite, but he wasn't pleased with the show itself. At least that what I've been told.
Tchaikovsky was decently satisfied with the music, otherwise he wouldn’t have allowed it to be used in the ballet. The show itself was not successful when it was first premiered. That’s why he chose several pieces from it to preserve for the future. That’s known now as The Nutcracker Suite.
@@melodioustaco3856 I'd like to think that we have a better taste in music than the man himself 😂😂😂
He was. The audience wasn’t though
@@chuckychuck8318 Are you freaking nuts?
No other composer has written so many recognizable and loved immortal melodies, many often finding themselves in the same piece. An inexhaustible genius.
What a genius and such wonderful classical music he gave us. This is keeping me " sane " whilst I am here in hospital, and certainly makes life etc better. Thank you Tchaikovsky. Irene M. Barcelona
@@irenesmith9074 I don't know what happened, but I hope you're ok

Nailed it👍
How old are you?
@@jiangchengseyeroll4485Younger than MT grandparents who were 20 something in the 50s
Tchaikovsky's work always has that palace-ish feel to it :D
grandeur!
obviously a palace with cannons.
You only think of that becuse of asociation. In popular culture, palaces have often been showed with classical music playing in the background. This has influenced your mind into asociating classical music with palaces

Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me! I'm not sleepy and there is no way I'm going to.
LMFAO
*pewds is that you?*
Every melody is so incredibly iconic and then Arabian Dance is like the child who is moderately successful but seen as a disappointment cause they're constantly compared to their siblings
I kinda feel bad about the Arabian Dance tho, I personally love it. It sucks that it is considerably less known than the other melodies on the suite :(
Arabian Dance has always been one of my favorites, as I remember this from my childhood living in Europe.
I actually really like the Arabian dance :(
I really like Arabian Dance. It was used in Fantasia by Disney with the dancing fish. I loved it as a child!
It’s hauntingly beautiful
Some people here in comments talk about other great composers
But to be honest with my self , this man is the only composer on the earth that i can listen his music for one hour without stopping or boring
Waltz of flowers is so romantic! Its got dazzle, a ballroom, courting and a dance mixed in one emotion. Tchaikovsky rocks
You're a person with a rich taste, you fellow Indian. ;)
That's true. A romantic and joyful melody
To me it's the world ending in slow motion, uhh 😅😅
Yep. And it turns out, Tchaikovsky got inspired by one of his rose bushes in his garden and technically wrote the piece for the rose bush.
True .. goosebumps all the way to the end.. the other waltz is Shostakovich waltz number 2..
Good album , can't wait for the next song
+xylon ze best Good one.

they say he (de)composed it by now
Haven't noticed this before but that is a really nice suit Tchaikovsky has on
The Nutcracker is the best piece of music ever written by the best composer ever,
One of my most cherished memories of Christmas was waking up early to admire the family tree. My dad put the Nutcracker Suite on the record player. He then told that if I looked hard enough I could the sugar plum fairie dancing on the ornaments. Thanks to childhood magic, I did!
Aww that's so incredible! What a lovely memory to cherish forever!
My dad would also play the nutcracker on the record player and other Tchaikovsky waltzes when my sister's and I were children. We would always say, "put on my rinnas!" to put our ballet shoes on. Then we would dance around the house.
Your memory is so sweet
The sweet innocence and imagination of childhood. At least we can remember those times.
Sweet ❤🇬🇧
Okay c'mon now. We can all say that Disney was INSANELY OBSSESSED with Tchaikovsky. 🤣
classic barbie too lol
Tom and Jerry, they had this and the sleeping beauty waltz
Right!! Looney toons are all I think about when I hear most classical music
ink! Tony the kaonashi gaster Yess FINALLY SOMEONE WATCHED THE TOM AND JERRY ONE!
@@theholyspirit4780 The Christmas Episode though I loved on how they used the BG music for it.
Who else thought of Tom and Jerry: A Nutcracker Tale movie while listening to this? Like this entire peice is all over in that movie.
nahh, I had to think on Barbie xD
I only thought of it when Arabian dance came up.
God, I was able to recognize the familiar music from that movie when I was a child XD.
Me
I am watching it right now because I never saw it before :)
I love Tchaikovsky's music so much, he is my favorite composer. I am not very knowledgeble in classical music but I know he has the reputation of being one if not the best melodist and I think this is the best example: of the eight parts listed in the description, 5 of them are very recognasiable and iconic to me. If I had to choose one word to describe he music I would choose fantasy because it's the first music I listened to that gives me escapism the same way books and tv shows do. His music transport me to a fantasy. Even though in my family we never had very happy christmas, the Nutcracker Suite reminds me of memories i never had of christmas.
Also at first I didn't like this part: 18:41 but know it's my favorite part it immerses me in a different world (I especially like it in another recording)
ua-cam.com/video/jA1-3Xgpf7Q/v-deo.html
rendition resembling the most the one I prefer
He is my favorite composer too :)
You should listen to his symphonies. Specially number 6. It's the saddest piece of music ever written, hard to believe it comes from the same guy who composed these.
Honestly, Tchaikovsky was the reason I genuinely got into classical music. Without him, I wouldn't have really invest that much into classical music and ballet.
Waltz of the Flowers literally makes my heart dance
Yeah, it's an amazing waltz.
Love the cadenza!
Your heart is waltzing, not dancing
It featured in 'The Stepford Wives' in a splendid scene with Glenn Close.
I loved waltz of the sleeping beauty but this was good too, all Tchaikovsky music is beautiful : P
This music will forever whisper "Christmas"! I remember a younger self, sitting in the living room with the decorated tree, watching Christmas cartoons, my mom and grandmom cooking Christmas food in the kitchen, me and my brother expecting for our gifts! It was so nice back then! :(
Cirice of the Ghost that sounds so freakn innocent and amazing, the childhood memories
Oh yes, it was nice! 😊
why dont repeat this with your family? :)
We can do it for our families. I intend to! I want my kids to feel the magic of Christmas the way I felt it before.
lol same. barbie feels
I love how such music displays emotions without saying a single word. Puts most modern songs to shame.
Simply magical....... Tom and Jerry got a rich flavour from here...... Classics never grow old
Tchaikovsky was a Genuis. A Masterpiece.
Да он самый лучший композитор, гений из всех гениев
Of all the classical music I've heard; so far this by far is my favorite. Two of my brothers were ballet dancers. And yearly would have perform to this piece. The first time I saw them in performance it was to this. My youngest brother played the Nutcracker and my older brother the Rat King.🌲
Happy holidays everyone.❤🙏👋
absolutely all the pieces of this suite are unforgettable.
Today 180 years ago was born the greatest russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Он был русский,а не российский.
As I sit here listening to the full suite for the first time I'm amazed at how often it's been used (in countless different ways). It's difficult to comprehend the genius it must take to create this masterpiece.
GTwo Tchaïkovski actually hated this composition and called it his worst work :p
@@guillaumejubinville-leblan4472 what an irony
I think you just have to be the first.
I mean even Yankee Doodle was stolen from one of the great composers.
All the simple melodies/jingles you know, are from the great composers. Even the Nokia ringtone.
@@guillaumejubinville-leblan4472 Really? He disliked his 1812 Overture, but I can't imagine why he would hate the Nutcracker Suite.
@@uzefulvideos3440 it's not like he hated this suite. he actually like the suite itself but severely disappointed at the first performance of this suite.
I've known Tchaikovsky's music for years now, ( I am so old), but his invention and beguiling melodies remain fresh. So unjust that for several decades his music was held in contempt by those 'in the know'. It is great to learn that new and younger people are warming to him too. He would be so glad to know that his endeavours were not in vain...He was surely one of the greatest composers of music.
Bei so viel Perfektion und Harmonie muss ich tatsächlich manchmal vor dankbarkeit weinen. Von herzen danke ❤
Man kann diese Göttliche Musik nicht oft genug hören. Ein Geschenk.
Dance of the sugarplum fairy sends me whirling back to my childhood, reading christmas stories by the decorated tree in the parlor. So magical!
18:40 this part is just, painfully beautiful
It is. It truly is
It’s ineffably moving and wondrously filled with emotions. Tchaikovsky was without a shadow of a doubt an absolute genius.
Despite me never have never listened to any of the beautiful compositions and melodies by Tchaikovsky, I were humming as though I knew them by heart. Truly wonderful artworks of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, I hope his magnificent pieces live on for further generations.
I remember I used to go see The Nutcracker every year it came. I was always blown away from how magical it felt. Everytime I hear these pieces I can still feel that feeling of pure amazement no matter how many times I had seen the ballet. This ballet will always be apart of me and I will always appreciate it.
I can't believe this beauty has dislikes....
The dislikes are from kids who have to listen to this for school😂😂

Monroe Madison what is your point monroe? are you trying to change history? No one really cares. We are here to listen to the nutcracker, not a ballbreaker like you.

I absolutely loved the performance and watching this video now just takes me back to when I was a child. Total enjoyment. This is truly a masterpiece…x

A timeless Christmas classic all over the world, Tchaikovsky for ever!
This work always brings me back to my grandmother's house at Christmas.
Tchaikovsky was a Genius and I think will be remembered for all time. His music is so iconic and recognisable even if people don't know it is his work. Of course to me the Nutcracker Suite just makes Christmas that much more special. He had more than any composer I think the ability to make his music sound mystical and almost like listening to magic spells at work or churning in a cauldron.
It's a little known fact, but Tchaikovsky actually composed a sequal to this piece called "The Ballbreaker".
should I google it? lol
why did I laugh so hard at this
Hello Vlad the Imapler

When I invent my time machine I will travel back then, to personally thank Chaikovsky for his marvelous music... I will have also anough time to learn how to write his last name properly.
Tchaikovsky is the greatest of them all because of his astounding versatility. This magnificent ballet and his 2 other brilliant ballets, opera, symphonies, concertos, choral, chamber, stand alone masterworks like Capriccio Italien and one of the first great modern song writers (None But the Lonely Heart).
Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi and Chopin best musicians ever, period.

To feel it you need to hear it live, then you will understand it. It’s beautiful
This man is responsible for pretty much all of my favourite classical music pieces. Dance of the sugar-plum fairy is amazing!
Waltz of the Flowers will probably forever be my favorite song of his, I just think it's so incredibly beautiful and memorable. Incredible pieces of music every single one of these though.
I remember hearing this song in a Tom and Jerry movie. God, the memories.

Don't forget Disney's "Fantasia."
MEEEE TOOOOOO
SuperBatachuEvan most of my earliest classical memories are from Tom and Jerry also!!
Cool!
This opening piece and the moors dance are my absolute favorite parts of the nutcracker. I remember many times seeing this work with my family, an American tradition. The Nutcracker is obviously a supreme example of a single composition being with many simply though brilliant melodic ideas.
Thank you, Marion Akpata for introducing me to the world of classical music. I am grateful.

David Eberhard lol
This actually is quite the calming music. Enjoying this on a saturday morning after a very stressful Friday is really helping dealing with stress. Thanks for uploading!
i saw the nutcracker in nyc and it was beautiful! also watching fantasia growing up made me love it even more :)
I never heard classical music in my life.listen for 5 minutes and hear every jingle for the last 50 years.Brova Tchaikovsky!
Even though in America, I guess, this comes alive in December.
Always a joy to hear. In the 80s I would buy this on cassette.
That and 1812 Overture.
Random fact lol but the Nutcracker is *the* most popular ballet in the US
