This music is familiar as a theme from one of the dances in Act III of Swan Lake. The musical material is very similar to that found in Tchaikovsky’s #ChildrensAlbum although the music has been arranged in 4/4 time and has a repeat. The tempo of the first section Allegro moderato in the realization is at 96 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minutes and for the Molto piu mosso section the tempo is 110 quarter note beats to the minutes.  Often performers choose a slower tempo for the slower section and a faster one for the faster section. The first note of the trumpet in Bb part is only sounded on the repeat. In the repeat there is additional instruction to accelerate towards the end of the movement but the music editor advises against this until the piece is known thoroughly and well rehearsed by the players. Other music for brass players can be found on the PlentyMusic website which is a sheet music resources website  supporting schools, academies, music teachers and in addition to all those who play a musical instrument. The PlentyMusic licence also allows its music to be copied for educational purposes so that those students taking music examinations or perhaps auditioning for ensembles, a summer school or a college place can make use of our resources for this purpose.
