Here is a slower and solemn arrangement for piano solo of the fifth movement in Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ever-popular Nutcracker Suite.  While maintaining characteristics of the original work, subtle variations add a contemporary interpretation creating a simplified, yet memorable instrumental selection. This song is the perfect addition to the classical holiday repertoire for the intermediate pianist.

This song is one of the 8 piano solo arrangements in the collection The Nutcracker Suite (Complete Collection for Piano Solo).

These arrangements were created to make challenging classical music more accessible for the intermediate player or easier to sight-read by more advanced players. Another feature of these arrangements is they are consistent at the intermediate skill level throughout each piece. Many have been simplified and only include excerpts from the longer original movements. Other simplified characteristics include easier key signatures and timings and some melodies were modified to create a smoother flow between phrases.
