During the Trepak, Tchaikovsky enlivens the sound of the orchestra by adding a celesta.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The statement presented asks us to consider whether, during the Trepak, Tchaikovsky enlivens the sound of the orchestra by adding a celesta.
Option: True or False? Since there are no listed alternative options in this input, we focus on evaluating the claim itself.
First, recall what Trepak is: the Trepak is the energetic Russian dance from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Suite (often referred to as the Russian Dance). Instrumentation in the standard orchestration of Trepak relies on strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and typical orchestral colors of late Romantic orchestra, without a notable emphasis on a celestial or bell-like timbre.
Next, consider the celesta’s usage in Tchaikovsky’s works. The celesta famously contributes the delicate, ethereal color heard in the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, where its bright, bell-like tone is a hallmark. However, that specific cue occurs in a different movement of The Nutcracker, not in Trepak.
Therefore, the claim that the Trepak enlivens the orchestra by adding a celesta contradicts the traditional orchestration and typical tonal palette of that dance within the Nutcracker suite. The celesta’s most iconic role in this ballet is associated with a different number, not Trepak.
In sum, the assertion is not accurate given standard performance practice and the historical score details for The Nutcracker. The celesta is not a defining or clarifying feature of the Trepak, making the statement false.
If we were to test this against the question's structure, the option asserting truth would be incorrect, while the option denying it would be correct, based on the conventional score and instrument use for Trepak in most editions of the work.
