“The Christmas Tree” (Elka in Russian), Op. 21 is a suite of piano pieces that depict scenes related to a Christmas tree and its decorations. The suite is often performed as a set of miniatures, each capturing a different aspect of the holiday season. It is considered one of Rebikov’s most well-known and charming works.
The “Christmas Tree Waltz” is an accessible yet enchanting piece for pianists of varying skill levels. Its moderate tempo and melodic simplicity make it an excellent choice for those who are advancing from the beginner to the early intermediate stage. The piece provides an opportunity for pianists to develop their expressive playing and dynamic control while maintaining a sense of festive cheer throughout.
