Melodic Beauty

Beethoven’s Septet and Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite are two iconic works of the repertoire that share a passion for melodic beauty and fascinating virtuosic elements. Although they belong to different periods and styles, in these works Beethoven and Tchaikovsky captivated the listener through a direct and luminous musical richness.
