The march, from "The Nutcracker," is one of the most well-known and recognized melodies of Tchaikovsky's famous ballet. (Another famous ballet with recognizable melodies is Swan Lake.) The actual title of the piece is "March," but most people refer to it as "The Nutcracker March." The song appears early in the first act of the ballet. It's the third song in the acts, just after the mini-overture that kicks off the show and "Scene: The Christmas Tree," played during the lighting and decorating of the Christmas tree. The "March" music plays during a lively party scene, which includes dancing, games, and merriment. The cheerful rhythm of the piece helps create a feeling of celebration among the holiday partygoers.
