Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71 - 5. Arabian Dance

About this work

The Arabian Dance suspends time through a restrained pulse and veiled timbres. Lines overlap without seeking rapid progress; attention moves towards intervals, sustained sounds and changes of colour.

Read the inner voices as carefully as the melody. A prolonged note may become the harmonic link that lets the orchestra slide into the next chord without a visible break.

Tuning sustained sounds is the priority. Breathe together before entries and let the percussion colour the texture rather than mark every beat; the calm must remain alive.
