Newly edited and engraved. The composer considered an orchestral suite from his great ballet, but never got around to extracting it. An unknown editor compiled the first version, which was issued by Jurgenson in 1900. The Soviet state publishers produced their own version in 1954, adding 3 dance movements and omitting the finale from the original suite. This new score includes all the movements found in the two different versions of the suite.

Newly edited and engraved study score for the original 1877 version of Tchaikovsky's first ballet masterpiece. Includes Preface, Synopsis, and Cast of Characters.

The five-movement suite was most likely arranged by Alexander Siloti and published by Jurgenson in 1899. This newly engraved edition is a licensed reissue of the 2011 large conductors score published by E.F. Kalmus - in an inexpensive, convenient format.

This is the complete orchestral score, not a piano reduction, based upon the composers autograph, the very rare first edition issued by P. Jurgenson, and the score from Tchaikovskys complete works.
