Newly edited and engraved full score for the original 1877 version of Tchaikovsky's first ballet masterpiece. Includes Preface, Synopsis, and Cast of Characters. This is the complete orchestral score, not a piano reduction. it is based upon the composer's autograph, the first edition issued by P. Jurgenson, and the score from Tchaikovsky's complete works.

Swan Lake, Tchaikovsky's first venture into ballet, was only moderately successful in its first production at Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre. Choreographer Julius Reissinger's dances were not well received, and those of his successor Joseph Peter Hansen fared no better. The ballet was propelled into the permanent repertoire only after a brilliant revival mounted by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov in St. Petersburg more than a year after Tchaikovsky's death from cholera.
Ballet Fairy Tale

Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's “Swan Lake”, Op. 20, ranks among the most significant ballet works in the history of music. Its world premiere took place in 1877 at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, yet it was only after a revised new production by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov in 1895 in St. Petersburg that the work began its worldwide triumph. The music unites symphonic depth with choreographic elegance, thereby setting a new standard for the ballet as a genre.
