Here is a work of art as well m beauty. Tchaikovsky, who was a perfectionist, wrote the serenade for the entire orches tra, instead of the more popu lar string quartet. And he pis! it together with eoherancc and agility. The first movement Pezzo In Forma hi Sonatina for instance, is smooth and melodic The second, the Valse, is both elegant and graceful.
