Swan Lake Suite, Op.20a: Study score - Paperback

by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Author), Carl Simpson (Editor), Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky (Author)

Newly edited and engraved. The composer considered an orchestral suite from his great ballet, but never got around to extracting it. An unknown editor compiled the first version, which was issued by Jurgenson in 1900. The Soviet state publishers produced their own version in 1954, adding 3 dance movements and omitting the finale from the original suite. This new score includes all the movements found in the two different versions of the suite.

This edition was first issued in 2006 by the now-defunct publisher E.F. Kalmus. Since that firms dissolution in 2019, Serenissima Music is the sole authorized publisher of the Simpson edition. The large conductor score and orchestra parts are now also avaialble.
