Swan Lake Suite (Set of Parts) by Tchaikovsky arr. Peter Klemke

Peter Klemke has taken up the big task arranging a large part of this famous ballet work for mallets. The original music was composed by Peter I. Tchaikovsky from 1875-76, and received its first performance on February 27, 1877 at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. The ballet was revised both as ballet and musically in 1895 under Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov. Since then this ballet work has been staged all around the world and is still one of the most popular ballet works ever written.
