Tchaikovsky piece that I can't find! D:?
So I wish I could show you guys what it sounds like, but in any case Boston Ballet is using the whole score for their production Alice in Wonderland this May, and I REALLY want to find the music that they use! I know that it's one of his lesser known "albums" because I can't find it anywhere.
In the whole "album"/"score" they use a song that sounds roughly/mildly like Arabian form Nutcracker, they have a song that really resembles music that could go with a cat (which evidently they're going to use for Cheshire), they end the production with almost the same song as they started with, and it sounds a lot like a Nutcracker-ish score. Very easily danceable (ballet wise I mean). Hope this is enough for you guys to help me find it. I would sing it for you guys and give you a link to it, but my voice sucks, so I'll spare you guys the pain! ;)
Hope you can help! <3

There is a recording available:

This ballet was not Tchaikovsky's idea.
In fact, it never even existed until 1995.
The music for the ballet is selected from music which Tchaikovsky wrote for other works.
An excerpt from each movement can be heard here:
http://www.classicalballetmusic.com/2009-Alphabeti...
#2 is #21, Sweet Dreams from the Album for the Young.
I'm not sure, but I think #6 is #3, The Hobby Horse from the Album for the Young.
#7 is #16, Old French Song from the Album for the Young.
#8 is Chanson Triste.
#12 is the waltz from Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony.
#13 is #5, March of the Tin Soldiers from the Album for the Young.
#24 is #17, German Song from the Album for the Young.
#25 is #9, The New Doll from the Album for the Young.
#26 is #3, A Winter Morning from the Album for the Young.
#27 is #8, Waltz from the Album for the Young.
#28 is #14, Polka from the Album for the Young.
#30 is #1, Morning Prayer from the Album for the Young.
#31 and #35 are reprises of #21, Sweet Dreams from the Album for the Young.
Sorry, I don't think that includes the two movements which you're asking about.
I invite other contributors to sample this Website and identify any other movements which they can recognize.
