Code: JP2117
ISMN: 979-0-3019-0194-6
David DeBoor Canfield's arrangement of Tchaikovsky's
beloved Nutcracker Suite was commissioned by the
European Fratres Trio in 2014, and was undertaken
between April 5th and May 12th of that year. The
original arrangement incorporating a saxophone was
written so that a clarinet could be substituted for the
saxophone, and because of Tchaikovsky's prominent
clarinet part in the orchestra score, this version will
sound a bit closer to the original conception of the
Russian master.
Canfield kept as close as possible to the original work,
given the fact that an entire orchestral score had to be
reduced to just three instruments. Fortunately, it was
possible to retain almost every line in Tchaikovsky's
original work, so the arrangement is quite recognizable
in its new garb, even as it poses various challenges to
the performers.
