Misc. Notes:

Typically inserted directly in Act III after No.20, if used at all; scored for solo violin and orchestra. This number was probably first issued in the 1895 printing of the full score, where it appeared as a supplement, along with Drigo's orchestrations of three Op.72 piano pieces used in the 1895 revival.

Misc. Notes:

Tchaikovsky's original score of the ballet. Includes both 20a (Danse Russe) and 19a (Pas de Deux) as supplements.

This "urtext" or "scholarly" (scientific) edition was published at least 25 years ago in the EU (or 20 years ago in Italy, before 1992 in the former USSR). Hence, the edition is public domain in its country of origin or a government publication. Such editions are also public domain in Canada because they fail to meet the minimum 'threshold of originality' to qualify for copyright as an 'adaptation'. It may not be public domain elsewhere, however. More information about this can be found here.
Please obey the copyright laws of your country. IMSLP does not assume any sort of legal responsibility or liability for the consequences of downloading files that are not in the public domain in your country.

Publication History

Full Score:

  • Moscow, P. Jurgenson, 1895 (?perhaps engraved ca.1881). 635 pages. Plate 4432
TH and the editors of the Soviet score give the publication date as 1895, to coincide with the revival that year. Plate 4432 was probably at least assigned by Jurgenson in late 1881. The engraving style and typefaces employed for titles in the Jurgenson full score are more consistent with Jurgenson's production from the 1880s than with that of the early 90s (Nutcracker, for example).

Arrangement for piano solo (Kashkin):

Arrangement for Piano 4 hands (Debussy):

  • Moscow, P. Jurgenson, 1881, 24 pages. Plate 4424 — Danses Russe, Espagnole et Napolitaine (Act III) only
