About "Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker, Op. 71, Act II: No. 12f, Divertissement. Mother Gigogne and the Clowns" by André Previn
Mother Gigogne and her clowns burst forth in a tumble of brass and woodwind, a comic whirlwind that teeters between glee and chaos. Previn relishes the bustle, but listen for the low brass underneath—a faint growl that reminds you the carnival is never entirely harmless.
