Sleeping Beauty Suite, Op.66a - Peter Tchaikovsky Ilyich

As with his earlier ballet Swan Lake, Tchaikovsky contemplated the creation of a concert suite taken from the enormous ballet score for Sleeping Beauty. Op.66 but never realized the project. The five-movement suite was most likely arranged by Alexander Siloti and first published by Jurgenson in 1899. This newly engraved edition is a reduced-format reissue of the large conductor's score previously issued by E.F. Kalmus as A2183 - in an inexpensive, convenient format. With the demise of E.F. Kalmus in 2019, Serenissima Music is now the only authorized publisher of this edition. Matching full score and orchestral parts are also available for sale.
