Nutcracker

on: September 29, 2005, 09:13:35 PM

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.
