The Sleeping Beauty balletthe second of three ballets composed by

Tchaikovsky (18401893)was reputedly completed in forty days in
1889, and first performed in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1890. It since has
become a standard of the classical ballet repertoire. The first dance in
Act I is the grand Sleeping Beauty Waltz (or Garland Waltz), certainly
among Tchaikovskys most memorable melodies. Some sixty years later,
when creating his animated version of the story, Walt Disney chose to
include Tchaikovskys expressive ballet music rather than an original
film score. Disneys interpretation of the fairy talewith words added
to Tchaikovskys waltz to become Once Upon a Dreamhas made
Sleeping Beauty Waltz even more familiar to an ever-increasingly wider
world audience.

The melodies of Tchaikovskys celebrated ballets are beloved world-wide, and no more so than this famous waltz. In
this Romantic-era masterpiece, young string students will discover beautiful musical figures with rhythms, bowings,
and fingerings achievable even by students in their first year of study. A moderate waltz tempo is suggested, but
3
it should not drag (h . = 52). While the meter is 4, an overarching pulse in 1 should be maintained. In general,
detached bowings should be played legato, and especially the dotted half notes. If possible, eighth notes with
staccato dots are more effective if played off the string; regardless, they should be contrastingly short. Dynamic
markings should be exaggerated to emphasize the Romantic-era spirit of the piece. After a 4-measure introduction,
Sleeping Beauty Waltz begins with the famous melody appearing in the first violins (mm. 537); the firsts
predominate throughout the arrangement. Celli/bass outline the familiar bass linewhich should be treated as
a melody in itselfwhile second violins/violas provide harmony and rhythmic drive. Attention should be drawn
to the wonderful 2-against-3 hemiola sections (mm. 2934, 3738, 6570) that characterize this waltz. The B
theme appears (mm. 3951) in the first violins, with the other instruments providing strong, accented punches.
The transition (mm. 5256) that leads to the dal segno (at m. 5) should provide a stereophonic effect as the eighth
notes cascade across the string sections. The repeated opening fulfills the arrangements A-B-A form, before leading
to the coda (m. 57). After a final hemiola section (mm. 6570), the piece crescendos to close with a final 2-measure
unison tag (mm. 7172) in fortissimo.
