Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71 - 4. Trepak

About this work

The Trepak concentrates its energy in offbeats, very short surges and accelerations that seem to restart before finishing. The dance needs firm attacks, but their lightness prevents the orchestra from stiffening.

Locate rhythmic cells shared by strings and winds. When they answer one another, the second entry must extend exactly the same gesture without adding a foreign accent.

Practise fast groups with their arrival note, then connect the returns without a pause. The final tempo will be convincing only if phrase endings remain together and audible.
