About This Song
About "Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker, Op. 71, Act II: No. 14d, Pas de deux. Coda" by André Previn
The pas de deux coda erupts in full-throated celebration, brass and timpani surging like a tide of confetti. Previn balances the bombast with crisp articulation, so the finale feels not merely loud but exultant—a release of tension that has been coiling since the first act.
