Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy – 'The Nutcracker' || TCHAIKOVSKY
P. I. Tchaikovsky - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from 'The Nutcracker' (arr. for piano)
Originally an orchestral piece, the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" features the rare celesta, an instrument with a delicate, bell-like tone. Tchaikovsky discovered the celesta in Paris and kept it secret from other composers so he could be the first to use its magical sound in 'The Nutcracker'.

F. Chopin - Etude Op. 25 No. 5, 'Wrong Note' The “Wrong Note” etude suffers from a popular misnomer - all of the notes are intentional, but the first melodic theme is riddled with intervals of a minor half-step, or minor second, which is the closest together two notes can be on a traditional piano.
