Tchaikovsky considered an orchestral suite from his first great ballet, but never got around to extracting it. An unknown editor compiled the first version, which was issued by Jurgenson in 1900. Muzgiz, the Soviet state publishers produced their own version in 1954, adding 3 dance movements and omitting the finale of the original suite. This newly engraved critical edition by Carl Simpson includes all the movements found in the two previous versions of the suite.
