Casse-noisette / The Nutcracker complete ballet for chamber ensemble, Op. 71
Instrumentation: 1d1. 1d1. 1. 1 – 1. 1. 0. 0 – 1 perc. pno. hrp (ad lib) – str (single players) This is a full score to Yoon Jae Lee's unabridged arrangement of Tchaikovsky's famous ballet, The Nutcracker. Scored for a mixed chamber ensemble of 13 (or 14) instruments with top quality engraving, this arrangement captures all of the essence of the original orchestration. It is also one of the only known reductions of the entire ballet that uses single strings, unlike the myriad of other reduced orchestrations available. Additional string players may be added at the discretion of the performers. Ideally suited for small theaters and ballet companies, this arrangement allows for staged performances of this masterpiece with live music which would otherwise not be possible. To allow for greater flexibility and practical use of instrumentation, the harp part is cross-cued into the piano and part. The Suite and the Waltz of the Flowers are also available for the same instrumentation. Performance material available for hire; please contact ondinepress@gmail.com for all inquiries.

In this arrangement, the harp is optional. The piano part contains all the music in the harp
part with very few exceptions and the pianist should play the cue-sized notes if the harp is not
available. If both piano and harp are available, the piano should be tacet in all passages with
cue-sized notes.
If the pianist has access to a celesta, the part should be played so that it will sound an octave
higher than written. If the celesta is not available, the pianist should play the part as written.
