Hive Music Festival, week no.11, Fourth Round, entry by @mipiano. Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy by P. I. Tchaikovsky

With a lot of positive thoughts, I am posting my entry for week 11, fourth round, of the Hive Music Festival.
I once mentioned that when I play for a “competition” I am more nervous and make mistakes while playing. Since I’m a perfectionist, then I shoot again and again until it’s as I wanted. But this time I thought differently. I wanted to play relaxed and show what is important in music, to share emotions.
Communicate the message of a composer or work, and not think about your limitations. That was my thought when I started playing. And it worked, this is the first shot, maybe not perfect but and I'm satisfied, I hope you like it too.

So for this week, I chose Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy, composed by a Russian composer Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky. It is a world-famous piece that is part of Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker. The premiere of the ballet took place on December 18, 1892, and the melody was played mainly by the celesta, an instrument that became known for the first time through this dance.

I was studying the work since Monday, every day whenever I was at home I practised it. I think my family had listened to it enough, they hummed the melody without stopping. But it's normal because it's a piece with such a beautiful and catchy melody. Maybe you will be humming as well it now. Thank you for your time spent listening to this piece.
