which version of the nutcracker suite transcription for piano?
on: September 13, 2005, 01:59:00 AM
I'm wanting to buy one and learn a few movements for the holiday season (and because the suite is one of my all time childhood favorites, heh) but there's so many versions....
I'd like one around ABRSM grade 7 or 8, any suggestions?
Thanks much.

If you have a second pianist hanging around, there's a beautiful 2-piano arrangement of The Nutcracker's Dance of the Reed Pipes by Nicholas Economou that Argerich recorded with him.
