Little fun fact, but very much is tragic: this was written after his sister Alexandra passed away and while he was on his way back to Russia, Tchaikovsky used his grief to write, as one could put it “a song for which she could dance her farewell to the world.” Tchaikovsky imagined this song as the song his sister and him would dance to before she left him. And thus the rest was history.
This is Tchaikovsky at his most lyrical, heartbroken, despairing peak. My heart cries for him each time I listen to The Nutcracker, his fairytale fantasy of a happy life. Keep resting in peace and power, Pëtr.
you put it so well. I cry rivers everytime i hear this piece. If I try to put what i feel listening to this piece, it would be smth like this: a purity, a dream, a hope, admiration, devotion, love. But then...disappointment, sadness, anger, hopelessness, being hit by the reality (multiple times), again a tiny piece of hope, and then final and utter disappointment... and death. This piece precisely describes (without a word) something grand and essential which started so beautifully and ended with heartbreaking disappointment. I dont know.. I think this piece is very tragical, considering that this is actually a duet of the Prince and Sugar Plum Fairy.
People can mock barbie movies as much as they want, but they introduced me to classical music, and I’ll be ever thankful for that edit: btw it's very nice to hear y'all in the comments say the tv shows and movies that introduced you to classical music!

@ClandestineOstrich Tbh I was obsessed trying to find a partner. All feelings you mentioned was the daily mood. But for the time I decided to switch to improve myself, and I was full focused on building my careers and find a way to enjoy my work. The way I found happiness was hard because you must feel happy with your own to be happy with your partner. Then move on be confident with your personality, share time with people who add positive value to your life and avoid toxic relationships. Once you get there, you will find a supportive partner, but never forget you must be happy with or without him/her. TDLR focus on build your happiness on your own, eventually you will find the right partner.
@ClandestineOstrich you must build your self-confidence and happiness on your own. Support from a partner is a gift, it should make you happier because it is a fulfill experience. But you can't rely on people support, you can't "need" someone's support because that is not healthy. You can build your energy from doing workout and working on your art daily will make you more attractive and self-confident. Eventually you will feel stronger mentally as you feel fit. And that will help you to find someone with no extra effort. Healthy body, healty brain. Hope it helps you
Desiree Debose had always been a force to be reckoned with on the dance floor. Born and raised in Chicago, she had grown up surrounded by the city's vibrant music scene and had honed her skills as a dancer in the clubs and bars of the Windy City. But despite her talent and passion, she had always felt like something was missing. That all changed when she met Jerome Washington, a black man with a dream of starting his own record label. Jerome was immediately taken with Desiree's energy and spirit, and he saw in her the perfect partner to help him launch his label. Together, they began to work on a new sound that blended elements of pop, easy listening, worldbeat, and EDM to create a unique and infectious style. As they worked, Desiree's desire to leave Chicago and see the world grew stronger, and she began to dream of a life beyond the city limits. Enter Jack Lee, a white dancer from Freeman Country, Virginia. Jack had been traveling the world, performing in clubs and bars and honing his own unique style. When he met Desiree and Jerome, he was immediately drawn to their energy and their music. The three of them began to dance together, and as they did, something magical happened. The music they created together was unlike anything anyone had ever heard before, a fusion of styles and rhythms that seemed to transcend borders and boundaries. As they performed together, Desiree's desire to leave Chicago began to fade, replaced by a newfound love for the music and the people she had found in Jerome and Jack. She knew that she had found her place in the world, and that she would never be content to stay in one place for too long. The thrill of the road and the rush of the stage were her home now, and she knew that she would always be a wanderer at heart. And so, Desiree, Jerome, and Jack set out on a journey to leave Chicago behind and take their music to the world. They danced through the nightclubs and waltzed through the trips, spreading their unique sound and their message of love and unity wherever they went. And as they did, they knew that they were changing the world, one dance at a time.
I don't understand what it is about 19th century Russia that made it so outstanding. It's almost an age that deserves recognition in the history books.
I usually hear little of Russia, but when I started reading classicals I find Russian to be my favourite. Not even French literature with all their glamour could compare to my first Russian classical novel, the one that immediately settled Russian literature in my heart : Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Still haven't read a book that could leave an impression as strong on me as that one.
I can't understand how a theme that basically consists of a descending major scale can be so powerful. That requires the perfect implementation of harmony, rythm, dynamic, orchestration and context. Tchaikovsky was truly a genius.
Tchaikovsky expressed his musical ideas with emotion, without which the music becomes boring. It isn't just about playing the notes: when the orchestra play with emotion then the listener just might get to feel the soulfulness of the music. And when the feelings are expressed in performance, and the listening audience connects with those feelings, wow 💣💥😍
First heard this song while driving. Just looked up Nutcracker and let it play. Really amazed this song is not more well known. But that goes for a lot of this type of music. Most people dont know Moonlight Sonata has three movements.
I was expecting a nice waltz or something easy in the background, I wasn't ready to be lifted from my seat into the stars on a journey of transcendent magnificence.
Dude this is litturally the last song at the end before the finale (I have preformed it before), it is in my opinion the best dance and song out of the whole nutcracker and even I want to cry while preforming because this song just is so much energy and emotions, it's a whole other level if u listen to the whole nutcracker, trust me
Mr. Tchaikovsky, you sadly did not receive the recognition you deserved while alive. But there are millions whom you have touched with your gift. Wherever you are, I hope you are at peace and in eternal happiness. Thank you for this amazing work of art. I cry every single time.
But seeing colors, and nature is also beautiful and breath taking, especially when you see the face of your beloved, just like hearing your most favorite music that makes your heart feels love.
As a person who has been blind since infancy, may I speak? I would like to agree with your sentiment. That’s why I keep coming back to the song over and over and over and over again.
лучший комментарий, который я когда-либо читал по поводу этого произведения был от девушки на испанском языке - Господи, я благодарю и преклоняюсь перед тобой, за то, что ты послал на землю Чайковского...
It's even more magical when you're dancing the pas de deux with a close friend and you just get wrapped up in the music and the story. It's hard not to cry on stage :)
it’s literally 3am right now, and i’m staring at the moon and listening to this beautiful work and i just, wow it felt like the moon was brighter at the crescendo and now tears are streaming down my face
I'm French and we have some of the greatest composers of all time in classical music, yet in my opinion none reaches the greatness of the Russian composer, Tchaikovsky.
Yes Gen, I feel you. I have listened to this so many times yet it has ahold of me once again and the tears won’t stop flowing and my entire body is in spasmodic mode in response to Pyotr.
Sometimes I ask myself, how is it possible to create such a masterpiece? Painters, musicians, poets: how can they do this? How can they catch these emotions, these feelings so accurate? How can they express them so clearly? I am crying right now because I am happy that such humans existed. I am crying because this is my inner response to this masterpiece. I am crying because I am happy.
Even i was a boy i watched those barbie movies, and these classics have a special place in my heart (don’t tell me only girls watched those barbie movies)
Dude you're so cool for saying it. And no, you're not alone, a lot of guys I know have watched Barbie movies. It's not a big deal they never said Barbie was just for girls.
As a dancer who does the nutcracker every year, this brings back so many amazing memories of waiting backstage while the snow queen and prince do their dance. It is such a magical thing, and when the crowd cheers so loudly before every comes on for the last part...... I love it so much. It truly is the most magical time of the year.
I do the Nutcracker myself every year too, And this year I got the honor of playing the role of Clara in this year’s Nutcracker production! I’m so excited, Whenever I listen to the soundtrack, I keep thinking I need to be on stage what am I doing- Haha
It feels like a wounded soul that’s finally blossoming, driven and stirred by feelings of joy and love, perhaps for the first time ever, until it’s so overwhelmed with emotion that it gives in and completely embraces it.
If you subscribe to the idea this entire piece was written by Tchaikovsky as both a musical memorial to his dead sister and as a personal expression of his own grief and acceptance then yeah...
i completely felt this way too. regardless of what others here reply to you. what lies in the subconscious is something else. also i am a believer that music speaks of and reflects our own experiences. this is probably what we are going through right now.
I read that he composed this as an elegy for his beloved sister after she passed away. I did always think this piece felt like a lament, haunting and full of grief. I always want to cry when I listen to it.
Obviously the whole thing's not a scale: I mean those first eight notes on the strings, after the harp has set the scene. That phrase, which appears again and again through the piece in various musical costumes (e.g. relative minor at 0:30), is a downward scale, isn't it, surely? I'll concede he does sprinkle a little rhythmical change on it to turn it into a tune - you'd get a frown from your music examiner playing one in that rhythm - but that's the wonder of it: with a touch of creativity a great composer can turn something basic into gold.
Try listning to "Aase's Death" from the Peer Gynt suite. It's a musical portrait of an old, seriously ill woman seemingly getting better followed by a downward motif indicating she's not getting better after all. I will never understand how orchestra members can stay dry eyed while performing it.
i dont know anything about ballet or classical music, i'm a hiphop dancer. but this is the most beautiful thing i've ever heard and i'm sobbing listening to it. i can't even put the emotion this song represents into words--it's almost like a bittersweet feeling, a tragic love. i have never heard of this composer in my life, but some people's talents are truly a gift to the world and this man's was one of them.
Se mi permetti vorrei suggerirti di ascoltare il primo movimento della 6 Sinfonia di Tckaikoski travolgerà le tue emozioni. E ancora il 2 movimento della 5 Sinfonia. Ascoltali e i tuoi sentimenti saranno elevati e ti pentirai di non avere conosciuto prima questo grande Autore. Cordiali saluti
The three Tchaikovsky ballets are, in my opinion, at the summit of human artistic creation. I don't think anything surpasses the immense creative genius of these masterworks.
@@DTJKS Agreed, #TchaikovskySymphonyNo5, and 6, are more condensed brilliance, as are the #TchaikovskyViolinConcerto, and #TchaikovskyPianoConcertoNo1. Symphony No.5 is his best, although some say 6, but all his famous pieces are great.
Beethoven was at the same level, and in some ways surpasses Tchaikovsky (and in some ways Tchaikovsky surpasses). In terms of raw emotion, they are both par IMHO. Of course this is just re: music. If speaking of painting or sculpture, the conversation goes in a very different direction.
Sascha Shingles It gets me too. I was that wrestler jock in high school that got asked to be the prince in our local Nutcracker production, and I fell in love with this piece. Every time it would begin playing while I was on the throne, I'd subtly tear up...
Sasha, as I wrote above: Is this the most intense passionate piece of music ever written? (This is quite an intense rendition in my opinion) Like his Andante cantabile, con alcuna licenza from Symphony No. 5 (second movement).
First time I heard this I cried like I've never cried before 😭 how can something so beautiful exist. Perfectly encapsulated within the notes is love, longing, beauty, sadness, regret, pity, oh God!
I was two when I heard this for the fist time and I erupted into inconsolable bawling for no apparent reason, that's how deep it touched me even before I had any idea about the pain life can bring. I am 32 now and it still affects me the same way.

the story behind it it's even sadder. Tchaikovsky wasn't really sure how to approach the Nutcracker, since he worked in more somber and dignified ballets before (the sleeping beauty and the swan lake) but this was commissioned and he couldn't say no, so there he was, uninspired. The Nutcracker's joyful and dreamlike story wasn't his forte, not when the man battled with depression for so long. He went to visit his family to soothe his mind, but a tragic event happened and his brother didn't have the heart to tell him, so Tchaikovsky heard the news when he came back to Moscow. His sister, the person he loved the most, passed away. It was then when he composed this piece as he imagined his sister dancing to it, maybe he remembered the days where they were younger and united as family, playing and opening gifts in Christmas just like Clara at the beginning of the story, maybe that was what made him realize how important this ballet was. A fun time for the family, a story of hope that in the end was just a mere dream. He really put his heart into this piece and the sorrowful acceptance is so vivid in it!
To me, this song is like all your suppressed feelings; confusion, sadness,anger and feeling conflicted while so many things are happening around you. Everything is going by quickly. Life's nothing but a beautiful disaster. This song gives me solace and washes my worries away. Something ethereal and inspiring. All you can do is smile and move on while still having these feelings rooted inside. This is what the song is to me.
I can name several people in my life who can't stand to hear classical music.. I try to play 1 round of Nutcracker during Christmas and they beg me to turn it off.. I will never understand it. To hate the sound of art, carved from the face of heaven..it's like a curse, to hear something so resplendent, so beautiful, and not love it.
Otherwise known as my brother. I always say “Alexa play Tchaikovsky’s the nutcracker” and my brother begs me he’s like “TURN IT OFF THIS IS SO ANNOYING!” so I always say “annoying to you, art to everyone else in the world” (an exaggeration, not everyone thinks it as art)

Такое удушающее, тошнотворное, но и тёплое и далекое чувство детской ностальгии от этой музыки… исполнение шедевральное. Как же я люблю этот отрывок. Люблю до слез.
Когда он писал эту музыку, то пришло известие о смерти его младшей сестры от передозировки морфия(если я правильно помню). Думаю, вы услышали именно то, что он хотел сказать, ностальгия за детством со своей маленькой сестрёнкой и прощание с ней. Ведь эта музыка на самом деле несёт в себе очень глубокую и глубоко заложенную грусть...
@@rhomai не полностью горькое, есть в нём и немного сладкого в чем то далёком, в памяти, навсегда в прошлом... И от этой сладости горечи ещё больше. Сколько сложных эмоций, Чайковский был гением в том, как рассказывал свои чувства музыкой
As a ballerina, I can think of when I hear this piece is backstage at my favorite old theater, it’s a week before Christmas. The whole cast is waiting in the wings for finale, silently shuffling around while watching this beautiful dance take place. There’s a revered silence and energy in the air, like everyone’s holding their breath, a brief moment of calm in the storm. The beautiful music coming through the speakers so loud and reverbing off of the high domed ceiling you can feel it in your bones. Time warps, going so fast while going so slow. I can’t even begin to describe the feeling when the audience erupts into applause at the end and everyone backstage is cheering and clapping too, and listening to this piece without it just feels so empty. 2020 was the first time in 10 years I went without it. I know someday I will be the sugar plum fairy and have the honor of performing this dance, but for now I just get to sit here and cry, reminiscing on some of the best times of my life, and how much I’ve missed out on.
I love you, you're amazing. Don't worry, it'll be back to normal someday. Please make sure to post a recording of your performance when you get that part and do this dance.
Wow. You have the most elegant way of putting things. As a writer and a ballerina, I support you and hope that one day it will get back to normal. ❤❤❤ hope you get this and just remember, patience is key.
This is simultaneously triumphant and melancholic. it's like catching the eye of a brother over a battlefield in chaos and taking a moment to revel in that at whatever may happen, victory or defeat, you were with them
If God gave the gift of Melody to any one composer in abundance, it was to Tchaikovsky. I have carried such thoughts for him in my heart since I was a child to this day. And, for almost 50 years, his framed photo has been on my desk. After all these years, he is still there ...
I'm italian and my country have great composers like Verdi, Vivaldi, Puccini and Rossini, but nobody for me (also sacred monsters like Mozart and Beethoven) can give to me the same intense feeling as Tchaikovskj (perhaps only Bach). He can shape the melodies like few artists. His music is the only that can destroy my bad feelings, bring me in another dimension. It thanks to him that I'm interested in Russian culture (art, music, literature, science). I would like to visit Moscow and St.Petersburg also for seeing the most important places of his life (like Marinsky Theatre) Unfortunatly in my country lots of people see Russia only as the country of stupid gopniks, shitty communism, soviet blocks and gulags (as lots of foreign people see my Italy as mafia and corruption). True Russia is not awful URSS!
As a guy who has seen all the original old school Barbie movies, the nutcracker was the most awesome of them, easy top two right behind princess and the pauper
My Mom's favorite piece on The Nutcracker...she passed away in 2018, and when I hear it I can't stop crying because I miss her so...thanks for giving me beautiful music Mom!
I may be wrong, but I heard that much of the music we hear in the ballet and major parts of the plot were added in homage to Tchaikovsky's close sister, who died a year after the first version of it was performed. He had the music and plot rewritten so that Clara/Marie was the main character, that there was a Sugar Plum Fairy, and all the magical beauty that made the ballet what we know now is because of this newer version. It wasn't just to make the ballet more exciting or fun; it was Tchaikovsky's way of coping the lost of his sister. He kept her memory alive through the characters and music, and now I can't hear the music without my heart breaking.
Im dumbfounded why classical music is so underrated, like its the best why dont people listen to them? other than those mainstream ones...You know, Canon in D, Flight of the bumblebee, Summer, Fur elise, etc.
there was a time where the music mentioned was mainstream. It's just been.. kinda forgotten about, for the world and media changed and thus this basically drowned with the other mentioned music tracks.
Because today in a digital era at the same time that everyone can listen to classical music, most people just what listen to song with catchy lyrics and 3 minutes long. I'm not against that type of music, but because of it people aren't usually patient enough to truly stop and listen a classical instrumental piece like this one.
I play this in my classroom for 4th grade and even some of the kids cry... I choke back tears when I hear it too. It's always a beautiful experience everytime I listen.
This melody was always associated for me with a feeling of pain of loss.. I don't know why. This sounds so tragic, yet beautiful. Just like I felt this in childhood, when I first came to ballet in Moscow with my sister and dad. Now my dad is gone.. Mother is ill and I feel this again... It helps me now very much to go through harsh times... Now, knowing the history if this melody I once again understood, why I feel exactly like this while listening to this. Music is cure and Tchaikovsky is genius..
When I listened to this my mouth flopped open, I smiled and I actually started crying and was still crying as I walked into school... I’ve never heard something so beautiful in my life..
To me, this is one of the most heartbreaking songs ive ever heard. Apparently Tchaikovsky wrote this score during the news that his sister had died, and it truly sounds like all of that grief was poured into the music. It sounds like the fleeting, desperate, but ultimately futile grasps for something you're destined to lose. It makes me think, loving someone is the saddest thing a person can do.
I play the cello. I played this piece in my freshman year of high school, and am currently at the end of my junior year. This is probably the piece that made me realize my dream of becoming a professional musician, and most likely my favorite piece of music of all time. Thank you so much, Mr. Tchaikovsky.
I'm neither a cello player nor professional musician, just an amateur piano player who's majoring mechanical engineering in uni. but this piece always motivates me every time and i hope that i can play this sheet with piano someday. Hope you can make your dream come true to be a professional musician.
Almost every time I listen to this, tears come to my eyes. So beautiful and dramatic✨... I've heard that the whole Nutcracker was planned by Tchaikovsky as a farewell to childhood or something like that. Brilliant! 👏
To me, it feels like loss... Like the loss of something that was beautiful and sweet but was destined to ephemerality. Like someone, who is usually kind and calm-mannered, is simultaneously remembering and reliving the joyful, and grieving its loss, being driven to a height of emotionality. This music is beautiful wow.
There's something about Russian classical music. It's different compare to composers from other countries (not saying that it's less beautiful, but that it is different ). Love it
@@YourMajesty-z6j What the hell of course music has nationality. The history, the culture and all of these things change the way the music is written, composed (...)... That would be stupid to erase these differences.
@@YourMajesty-z6j actually it has ,the affect of music gots no nationality but the way music is created has.. You don't need to be a genius to understand ,take whatever genre u want and compare it through different nations.
More likely fighting with time before realising it will soon be too late to admit your feelings, and as time is going on, you realise that everything is meaningless compared to love.
Arguably one of the most extraordinary pieces of art ever created. Tchaikovsky was the only man capable of creating music that would have been suitable for heaven itself. It's spellbinding. If there's one song humanity should cherish forever, let it be this one.

Little fun fact, but very much is tragic: this was written after his sister Alexandra passed away and while he was on his way back to Russia, Tchaikovsky used his grief to write, as one could put it “a song for which she could dance her farewell to the world.” Tchaikovsky imagined this song as the song his sister and him would dance to before she left him. And thus the rest was history.

@ClandestineOstrich Tbh I was obsessed trying to find a partner. All feelings you mentioned was the daily mood. But for the time I decided to switch to improve myself, and I was full focused on building my careers and find a way to enjoy my work. The way I found happiness was hard because you must feel happy with your own to be happy with your partner. Then move on be confident with your personality, share time with people who add positive value to your life and avoid toxic relationships. Once you get there, you will find a supportive partner, but never forget you must be happy with or without him/her. TDLR focus on build your happiness on your own, eventually you will find the right partner.
@ClandestineOstrich you must build your self-confidence and happiness on your own. Support from a partner is a gift, it should make you happier because it is a fulfill experience. But you can't rely on people support, you can't "need" someone's support because that is not healthy. You can build your energy from doing workout and working on your art daily will make you more attractive and self-confident. Eventually you will feel stronger mentally as you feel fit. And that will help you to find someone with no extra effort. Healthy body, healty brain. Hope it helps you
Only Tchaikovsky could have taken a G major and E Minor scale and make them shine like this, true masterpiece.

Desiree Debose had always been a force to be reckoned with on the dance floor. Born and raised in Chicago, she had grown up surrounded by the city's vibrant music scene and had honed her skills as a dancer in the clubs and bars of the Windy City. But despite her talent and passion, she had always felt like something was missing. That all changed when she met Jerome Washington, a black man with a dream of starting his own record label.
Jerome was immediately taken with Desiree's energy and spirit, and he saw in her the perfect partner to help him launch his label. Together, they began to work on a new sound that blended elements of pop, easy listening, worldbeat, and EDM to create a unique and infectious style. As they worked, Desiree's desire to leave Chicago and see the world grew stronger, and she began to dream of a life beyond the city limits.
Enter Jack Lee, a white dancer from Freeman Country, Virginia. Jack had been traveling the world, performing in clubs and bars and honing his own unique style. When he met Desiree and Jerome, he was immediately drawn to their energy and their music. The three of them began to dance together, and as they did, something magical happened. The music they created together was unlike anything anyone had ever heard before, a fusion of styles and rhythms that seemed to transcend borders and boundaries.
As they performed together, Desiree's desire to leave Chicago began to fade, replaced by a newfound love for the music and the people she had found in Jerome and Jack. She knew that she had found her place in the world, and that she would never be content to stay in one place for too long. The thrill of the road and the rush of the stage were her home now, and she knew that she would always be a wanderer at heart.
And so, Desiree, Jerome, and Jack set out on a journey to leave Chicago behind and take their music to the world. They danced through the nightclubs and waltzed through the trips, spreading their unique sound and their message of love and unity wherever they went. And as they did, they knew that they were changing the world, one dance at a time.

It's so hard not to admire Russian culture. Both in literature and Classic, their achievement is like a myth.
I don't understand what it is about 19th century Russia that made it so outstanding. It's almost an age that deserves recognition in the history books.
Its russ Per Gunt, ok?
Truly nothing hard at all. Russian culture is as beautiful as it’s amazing.
I usually hear little of Russia, but when I started reading classicals I find Russian to be my favourite. Not even French literature with all their glamour could compare to my first Russian classical novel, the one that immediately settled Russian literature in my heart : Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Still haven't read a book that could leave an impression as strong on me as that one.
@@mattakubodimasen10 I relate to you. I can hardly find more deeply telling stories of the human condition than from that period.
I can't understand how a theme that basically consists of a descending major scale can be so powerful. That requires the perfect implementation of harmony, rythm, dynamic, orchestration and context.
Tchaikovsky was truly a genius.
I have no idea what this means but i'm nodding my head yes. Shout out to all musically knowledgable people
Tchaikovsky expressed his musical ideas with emotion, without which the music becomes boring. It isn't just about playing the notes: when the orchestra play with emotion then the listener just might get to feel the soulfulness of the music.
And when the feelings are expressed in performance, and the listening audience connects with those feelings, wow 💣💥😍
I somewhat completely understand this and at the same time would love somebody to deep dive in explaining it.

I love it so much. It truly is the most magical time of the year.
Thank you so much for bringing joy on stage ❤

@@sonyawalker9212 I mean the final one
It feels like a wounded soul that’s finally blossoming, driven and stirred by feelings of joy and love, perhaps for the first time ever, until it’s so overwhelmed with emotion that it gives in and completely embraces it.
Yes, I interpreted it the same. :)❤
If you subscribe to the idea this entire piece was written by Tchaikovsky as both a musical memorial to his dead sister and as a personal expression of his own grief and acceptance then yeah...
Well no... He was in despair.
i completely felt this way too. regardless of what others here reply to you. what lies in the subconscious is something else. also i am a believer that music speaks of and reflects our own experiences. this is probably what we are going through right now.
I read that he composed this as an elegy for his beloved sister after she passed away. I did always think this piece felt like a lament, haunting and full of grief. I always want to cry when I listen to it.
I feel the same way. I know, it's the love song of the nutcracker, but it sounds so bittersweet and melancholic.
Kinda feels like he's remembering and how he felt over all those times
I can literally hear it in the music. It gives me chills.
The main part of the melody is a downward scale. A downward scale! Have you ever heard such an emotionally expressive downward scale in your life?
The Freckled Cormarant no its not a scale each note isnt a whole step down
Obviously the whole thing's not a scale: I mean those first eight notes on the strings, after the harp has set the scene. That phrase, which appears again and again through the piece in various musical costumes (e.g. relative minor at 0:30), is a downward scale, isn't it, surely? I'll concede he does sprinkle a little rhythmical change on it to turn it into a tune - you'd get a frown from your music examiner playing one in that rhythm - but that's the wonder of it: with a touch of creativity a great composer can turn something basic into gold.
Try listning to "Aase's Death" from the Peer Gynt suite. It's a musical portrait of an old, seriously ill woman seemingly getting better followed by a downward motif indicating she's not getting better after all. I will never understand how orchestra members can stay dry eyed while performing it.
Νο I have not listened such an emotionally expressive downward scale...you are absolutely right. So simple and so unique and amazing.
I have no idea what the fuck are you talking about.
I wish he knew that people would cry listening to this again and again in 2018.
He does know...through his work of art.
Андрей frrrrrr that’s me rn 😭😭
i dont know anything about ballet or classical music, i'm a hiphop dancer. but this is the most beautiful thing i've ever heard and i'm sobbing listening to it. i can't even put the emotion this song represents into words--it's almost like a bittersweet feeling, a tragic love. i have never heard of this composer in my life, but some people's talents are truly a gift to the world and this man's was one of them.
just listen to the classical russian composers Tchaikovsky Schostakovich, Prokofiev, Mussorgsky maybe even Borodin

Super Bass by Nicki Minaj. Look it up 😒
Beethoven was at the same level, and in some ways surpasses Tchaikovsky (and in some ways Tchaikovsky surpasses). In terms of raw emotion, they are both par IMHO. Of course this is just re: music. If speaking of painting or sculpture, the conversation goes in a very different direction.

I do, too.
Sascha Shingles It gets me too. I was that wrestler jock in high school that got asked to be the prince in our local Nutcracker production, and I fell in love with this piece. Every time it would begin playing while I was on the throne, I'd subtly tear up...
Sasha, as I wrote above: Is this the most intense passionate piece of music ever written? (This is quite an intense rendition in my opinion) Like his Andante cantabile, con alcuna licenza from Symphony No. 5 (second movement).
First time I heard this I cried like I've never cried before 😭 how can something so beautiful exist. Perfectly encapsulated within the notes is love, longing, beauty, sadness, regret, pity, oh God!
I was two when I heard this for the fist time and I erupted into inconsolable bawling for no apparent reason, that's how deep it touched me even before I had any idea about the pain life can bring. I am 32 now and it still affects me the same way.

the story behind it it's even sadder.
Tchaikovsky wasn't really sure how to approach the Nutcracker, since he worked in more somber and dignified ballets before (the sleeping beauty and the swan lake) but this was commissioned and he couldn't say no, so there he was, uninspired. The Nutcracker's joyful and dreamlike story wasn't his forte, not when the man battled with depression for so long. He went to visit his family to soothe his mind, but a tragic event happened and his brother didn't have the heart to tell him, so Tchaikovsky heard the news when he came back to Moscow. His sister, the person he loved the most, passed away. It was then when he composed this piece as he imagined his sister dancing to it, maybe he remembered the days where they were younger and united as family, playing and opening gifts in Christmas just like Clara at the beginning of the story, maybe that was what made him realize how important this ballet was. A fun time for the family, a story of hope that in the end was just a mere dream. He really put his heart into this piece and the sorrowful acceptance is so vivid in it!
To me, this is the sound of being in a bittersweet relationship. Like breaking up with someone you're still in love with.
+GlassMufasa You just can't let go.
It's from a scene where two lovers are compelled to part with each other, isn't it? That would make the sad sound very appropriate.

All you can do is smile and move on while still having these feelings rooted inside. This is what the song is to me.

As a ballerina, I can think of when I hear this piece is backstage at my favorite old theater, it’s a week before Christmas. The whole cast is waiting in the wings for finale, silently shuffling around while watching this beautiful dance take place. There’s a revered silence and energy in the air, like everyone’s holding their breath, a brief moment of calm in the storm. The beautiful music coming through the speakers so loud and reverbing off of the high domed ceiling you can feel it in your bones. Time warps, going so fast while going so slow. I can’t even begin to describe the feeling when the audience erupts into applause at the end and everyone backstage is cheering and clapping too, and listening to this piece without it just feels so empty. 2020 was the first time in 10 years I went without it. I know someday I will be the sugar plum fairy and have the honor of performing this dance, but for now I just get to sit here and cry, reminiscing on some of the best times of my life, and how much I’ve missed out on.
I love you, you're amazing. Don't worry, it'll be back to normal someday. Please make sure to post a recording of your performance when you get that part and do this dance.

Thank you Grandpa
I'm italian and my country have great composers like Verdi, Vivaldi, Puccini and Rossini, but nobody for me (also sacred monsters like Mozart and Beethoven) can give to me the same intense feeling as Tchaikovskj (perhaps only Bach). He can shape the melodies like few artists. His music is the only that can destroy my bad feelings, bring me in another dimension. It thanks to him that I'm interested in Russian culture (art, music, literature, science). I would like to visit Moscow and St.Petersburg also for seeing the most important places of his life (like Marinsky Theatre) Unfortunatly in my country lots of people see Russia only as the country of stupid gopniks, shitty communism, soviet blocks and gulags (as lots of foreign people see my Italy as mafia and corruption). True Russia is not awful URSS!
I have the same feeling, this guy is a true genious. And Bach is also my favourite composer
Welcome, friend! That is all lies) Trust your heart..

That’s why he’s so well known in the ballet community
Ayo any of you cool kids watch the Barbie version of the Nutcracker when you were a kid? That shit was great man
Jo O'Cleary YES!
jackier132 Ayyyyyyyyyyyyy
No I was busy in ballet class rehearsing for the Nutcracker👌
As a guy who has seen all the original old school Barbie movies, the nutcracker was the most awesome of them, easy top two right behind princess and the pauper
Bro yes I've watched all of them up to pink shoes
My Mom's favorite piece on The Nutcracker...she passed away in 2018, and when I hear it I can't stop crying because I miss her so...thanks for giving me beautiful music Mom!
😢
you're a very fortunate person.

Me: Pas de deux
Friend: u better not play trash
me:
This is not trash
Cringe hurts
change your friends.
this is golden omg
@@letseatgrandpa2905 He didnt said that this is trash.
Pas de deux sounds like pass the aux.
I may be wrong, but I heard that much of the music we hear in the ballet and major parts of the plot were added in homage to Tchaikovsky's close sister, who died a year after the first version of it was performed. He had the music and plot rewritten so that Clara/Marie was the main character, that there was a Sugar Plum Fairy, and all the magical beauty that made the ballet what we know now is because of this newer version. It wasn't just to make the ballet more exciting or fun; it was Tchaikovsky's way of coping the lost of his sister. He kept her memory alive through the characters and music, and now I can't hear the music without my heart breaking.
I'm not crying, you're crying :(
Даже каменная статуя услышав эту музыку заплачет, невозможно сдержать слезы❤ Просто гениально
Excellent🤍
Im dumbfounded why classical music is so underrated, like its the best why dont people listen to them? other than those mainstream ones...You know, Canon in D, Flight of the bumblebee, Summer, Fur elise, etc.
this has 19m views and its from one of the most popular ballets lol but i see where your coming from
there was a time where the music mentioned was mainstream. It's just been.. kinda forgotten about, for the world and media changed and thus this basically drowned with the other mentioned music tracks.
Air on the g string is nice
Because today in a digital era at the same time that everyone can listen to classical music, most people just what listen to song with catchy lyrics and 3 minutes long. I'm not against that type of music, but because of it people aren't usually patient enough to truly stop and listen a classical instrumental piece like this one.
"Why can't people listen to classical other than the popular pieces?"
- Commented on a piece from the Nutcracker
I play this in my classroom for 4th grade and even some of the kids cry... I choke back tears when I hear it too. It's always a beautiful experience everytime I listen.
oh my...what a lovely thing to share. thank you.
That's so sweet. I would be a mess when the babies start tearing up
@@annalucy53074th graders that know emotions in music? Dang.
R/YeahThatHappened and then everyone clapped
Katie Hughes Dang really? I think kids are more emotional these days. Don’t get me wrong the song is a masterpiece.
This melody was always associated for me with a feeling of pain of loss.. I don't know why. This sounds so tragic, yet beautiful. Just like I felt this in childhood, when I first came to ballet in Moscow with my sister and dad. Now my dad is gone.. Mother is ill and I feel this again... It helps me now very much to go through harsh times... Now, knowing the history if this melody I once again understood, why I feel exactly like this while listening to this. Music is cure and Tchaikovsky is genius..
I heard he wrote it for/about his dead sister so that follows
@@BatgirlStan Yeah, I know..(
Have courage and faith sister, you shall overcome all these feelings. Happiness will be yours!!!
Sending you lots of prayers and blessings. 🤗
@@0rhythm_divine0 Thanks so much for your support!
Hey, I hope you’re well!!
3:30 gets me every time. Tears flow down my cheeks as if they were a stream. Absolutely beautiful
3:30 does such a good job of holding the suspense and then releasing. No other version does that. This is why I keep going back to this one.
Me too
That's the best part of the whole song
You're right 💯🎻
Im crying of how beautiful this is
Me too
same
No jokes, this was one of the only songs that actually made me cry
When I listened to this my mouth flopped open, I smiled and I actually started crying and was still crying as I walked into school... I’ve never heard something so beautiful in my life..
I know, right??!!!
No you didn't
You must hear his Valse Sentimentale
Agree!!💜
literally me buit i was doing homework :(
como pode ser possível que uma alma humana seja capaz de fazer algo tão profundo e lindo assim? É tão inacreditável.
У меня нет слов, чтобы выразить свои чувства, когда я слышу pas de deux, это просто небесное и сверхчеловеческое
спасибо Чайковский
Потеря младшей сестры, во время его турне по Европе, отразилась на этом шедевре.(
Великий и наш! ♥️
I said the same thing
How can someone put so much suffering, love, and sorrow into one piece? truly amazing
He composed this for his deceased sister...and then there is my brother who doesn't even open my messages.😔🤦♀️
omg, this hit me so deep. Siblings need to appreciate each other more!
He loves you
😭😭😭
Ooh 😄
I mean- they don't really have smart phones in the 1900s😂
Siblings will be siblings, I guess.
To me, this is one of the most heartbreaking songs ive ever heard. Apparently Tchaikovsky wrote this score during the news that his sister had died, and it truly sounds like all of that grief was poured into the music. It sounds like the fleeting, desperate, but ultimately futile grasps for something you're destined to lose. It makes me think, loving someone is the saddest thing a person can do.
People listen to songs about santa for Christmas,
I listen to Tchaikovsky.
Tchaikovsky rocks all year long, my friend ;-)
Christmas is unnecessary.
“Don’t worry guys, I’m not like other girls”
The Nutcracker is a classic at that time of year.
Multitask if you are able and enjoy both!
Me, an intellectual: it reminds me one of Barbie's movie
AHAHAH same here!!! We are intellectuals, but we had a great childhood too
The older Barbie movies had such amazing music and over all my favorites.
Yup, all I can think of when seeing and hearing this song is barbies the nutcracker
Great minds think alike homie
Me too😂😂😂 I watched all the films and I love Tchaikovsky due to these cartoons ❤️✌🏻
I play the cello. I played this piece in my freshman year of high school, and am currently at the end of my junior year. This is probably the piece that made me realize my dream of becoming a professional musician, and most likely my favorite piece of music of all time. Thank you so much, Mr. Tchaikovsky.
I'm neither a cello player nor professional musician, just an amateur piano player who's majoring mechanical engineering in uni. but this piece always motivates me every time and i hope that i can play this sheet with piano someday. Hope you can make your dream come true to be a professional musician.
@@KHHVKimchicel thank you so much for your words. I wish you the best in your endeavors.
Hey, have you ever been interested in composing classical music? Just curious
@@Tchaikovsky391 it’d be cool but my main interest is playing
Almost every time I listen to this, tears come to my eyes. So beautiful and dramatic✨... I've heard that the whole Nutcracker was planned by Tchaikovsky as a farewell to childhood or something like that. Brilliant! 👏
To me, it feels like loss... Like the loss of something that was beautiful and sweet but was destined to ephemerality. Like someone, who is usually kind and calm-mannered, is simultaneously remembering and reliving the joyful, and grieving its loss, being driven to a height of emotionality. This music is beautiful wow.
Auva Stratos you're right. I have heard he composed this when he heard of his sister's death. I feel his grief
I love your description..I think this is how my heart would desire to explain the emotions I get but also it gives a kind of strength. Isn't it?
Auva Stratos it's strange how we all have a similar visual to this song. that's kind of how I feel when I listen to this
Is this......
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
There's something about Russian classical music. It's different compare to composers from other countries (not saying that it's less beautiful, but that it is different ).
Love it
It`s not about russia at all. Music has no nationality or race. Only pricks like you try to label it.
@@YourMajesty-z6j What the hell of course music has nationality. The history, the culture and all of these things change the way the music is written, composed (...)... That would be stupid to erase these differences.
@@YourMajesty-z6j actually it has ,the affect of music gots no nationality but the way music is created has.. You don't need to be a genius to understand ,take whatever genre u want and compare it through different nations.
@@YourMajesty-z6j no need to call people pricks. You can voice your opinion without insults
you are just russian who is bragging lol
all russian composers were educated in europe
2:12 - 2:36 my favorite part. The buildup. It's like falling in love or slowly finding the true meaning of your life.
More likely fighting with time before realising it will soon be too late to admit your feelings, and as time is going on, you realise that everything is meaningless compared to love.
This piece is AMAZING! I'm crying 😭❤️❤️
Should come with a warning label: "YOU ARE ABOUT TO FEEL ALL THE EMOTIONS".
What a beautiful masterpiece!
Accurate...
Волшебно, чарующе. Спасибо великому Петру Ильичу за надежду, силу духа. Лучшее новогоднее произведение.
Это надежда , чтобы жить. Когда ты плачешь и улыбаешься.
Arguably one of the most extraordinary pieces of art ever created. Tchaikovsky was the only man capable of creating music that would have been suitable for heaven itself. It's spellbinding. If there's one song humanity should cherish forever, let it be this one.
or Perl Fishers by Bizet
It's Bach for me. But Tchaikovsky is pretty damn awesome too.
One of the all time classics! It takes one on a beautiful journey.
can i just say that the artwork is also really pretty? like the music is godly, but the painting is also pretty cool
I agree!
Hopefully you have been well since you write that comment.
I found it!!
The painting/drawing is called "Lightness" it was done by Renata Brzozowska, a bstract painter.
ikr it’s like it’s sucking me in with the music, the patterned strokes around the dancer look like a flurry
