Features: The world's ballet has three major schools: Italian, French, and Russian. The composer who truly elevated ballet music to its peak is Tchaikovsky. His representative ballets Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, and The Nutcracker, especially Swan Lake, ended the then-Russian music scene's blind worship of foreign styles and forced imitation. Ultimately, the center of world ballet art shifted from Paris to St. Petersburg. His music brought rich imagery, dramatic momentum, and symphonic development to ballet. His works are not only paradigmatic ballet masterpieces but also immortal classics on the world music stage.
