Nutcracker

Anyone know where I can find a decent version of the Nutcracker for piano? One that's at least a little challenging....

All of the ones I've looked up so far are for beginners.

3 that spring to mind are the Pletnev and Essipoff transcriptions, along with the Flower Waltz transcription by Grainger.

Definately not for beginners.

I have all in pdf if you would like to have a look.

There's also one by Kornienko, not for beginners, either.

Pletnev's is probably the best (IMO) and most difficult.
Fortune favours the musical.
