SATURDAY NIGHT TCHAIKOVSKY, STRAUSS.

First the first movement of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake Suite, Opus 20.




A ballet more exactly, in its broader meaning of a choreography/music ensemble. From 1876. First performed one year later by the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.



Then Johan Strauss II's An der schönen blauen Donau, Op. 314, brilliantly married to Stanley Kubricks late sixties' vision of spacecraft and space stations orbiting the Earth, in 2001 A Space Odyssey.




Waltz in triple metre, composed in 1866.


Nite.
