Emma’s winter piano recital was all music from The Nutcracker Suite, which Tchaikovsky extracted from the two hour Nutcracker ballet. (The ballet was apparently a flop when first produced!)
Emma practiced this piece relentlessly for the past few months and forced us all to listen to the Suite in the car, as well. Who couldn’t stand a little more celesta in their life, eh?
Very good Emma. Grandma Mandel & I enjoyed watching & hearing you perform. That was a
treat. It’s nice to see you in action performing things you have been working on. Too bad we
were unable to be there.
