Tchaikovsky considered an orchestral suite from his first great ballet, but never got around to extracting it. An unknown editor compiled the first version, which was issued by Jurgenson in 1900. Muzgiz, the Soviet state publishers produced their own version in 1954, adding 3 dance movements and omitting the finale of the original suite. This newly engraved critical edition by Carl Simpson includes all the movements found in the two previous versions of the suite.  1. Scene 2. Valse 3. Danse de cygnes 4. Pas d'action 5. Danse hongroise 6. Danse espagnole 7. Danse napolitaine 8. Mazurka 9. Scene et Finale

<p>Newly edited and engraved study score for the original 1877 version of Tchaikovsky's first ballet masterpiece. Includes Preface, Synopsis, and Cast of Characters. This is the complete orchestral score, not a piano reduction, based upon the composer's autograph, the first edition issued by P. Jurgenson, and the score from Tchaikovsky's complete works. Swan Lake, Tchaikovsky's first venture into ballet, was only moderately successful in its first production at Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre. Choreographer Julius Reissinger's dances were not well received, and those of his successor Joseph Peter Hansen fared no better. The ballet was propelled into the permanent repertoire only after a brilliant revival mounted by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov in St. Petersburg more than a year after Tchaikovsky's death from cholera. A new, reasonably priced study score that will be invaluable to students, conductors, music lovers and ballet aficionados everywhere.</p>
