The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky might be one of the most famous pieces of holiday classical music, but there might be some facts you didn't know about this piece! 1) It almost wasn't called The Nutcracker! The original working title for the ballet was The Christmas Tree and, alternatively, The Fir Tree. 2) Some of this piece's elements are rooted in German culture. 3) When Tchaikovsky premiered this piece in Russia in 1892, it did not perform well, criticized for its lack of a coherent plot and artistic depth. 4) The original copy of The Nutcracker Suite went missing for nearly 50 years.
