Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Little Russian March (from Symphony No. 2): (Arr. Robert Longfield): String Orchestra

The colorful, tuneful march from Tchaikovsky's second symphony, considered to be one of his most joyous works, makes an ideal teaching piece with its distinctive dotted 8th/16th note figure throughout. The nickname Little Russia was given to the symphony based on its use of Ukrainian folk songs.
