As a composer I found this really interesting and I'm looking at my harp writing again. BTW you play Tchaikovsky's original beautifully. Thanks very much.

Thank you - I learnt to play your own preferred version nearly 30 years ago and now, teaching it for the first time, found your video really helpful.

Could I add something to your discussion? There is a Dutch tradition of replacing the long upward arpeggio with two arpeggios, one from the bottom to the middle and then a larger one to the top. I believe it originated in the Dutch orchestras like the Concertgebouw. I find it neater and tasteful than the Bolshoi glissandos in the Dulova edition. I have an attachment to this way. On one of the British story tapes produced by Pickwick for the Ladybird fairy tale books, there is a recording of the Waltz of the Flowers used as background music. The harpist on that recording replaces the long ascending arpeggio with two arpeggios.

Including the score excerpts as you play is awesome for composers. It can be very difficult to translate what you are hearing (or even seeing) to what's actually on the sheet of music. I do a lot of harp writing these days, it seems...so, I'll be back for more videos!

Impressive, Danielle! I am only a listener, not a composer or harpist, but even I find your explanations understandable and interesting. Though, it was a bit of a shock to discover the nutcracker piece I have watched/heard so many times is not Tchaikovsky’s original!😲

Ahh, thank you! It's crazy how a lot of these orchestral harp parts aren't ever played as written!

What a great, informative idea for a video! Also, props for learning the original cadenza - I know it's a bear. I also favor the Gayle Barrington version. Wonderful job!

I wanted to hear your idea of a glissando in it. Me, I’m just never able to play a glissando in the right key. Now I know, that sounds ridiculous and IS impossible. But it’s not...I have heard harpists play a glissando that fits a piece and just by the glissando I can say, hmm...he/she’s in...I dunno...D Major (like this cadenza). And it’s very clearly in D Major. I’m a self taught harpist so I guess I missed the class where you learn to do that because my glissando just sounds like, “yup, now that there is every single note...” My best guess is that it must have something to do with the notes on which you change direction and if that is the case, at the speed of a glissando I simply don’t have the control needed to build it around exact notes framing it.

Personally, I do like the arpeggio rather than the glissando. But, you can do a chordal glissando by doubling notes to make it sound like a chord rather than a scale. For a D major glissando, you can set the pedals to D C# B | E F# Gb A. The doubled F#/Gb gives it more of the chordal feel.
