In The Nutcracker 71a, you can hear the opening theme song, the nutcracker's march, dance of the sugar plum fairies, the russian dance, the arabian dance, the Chinese dance, the reed flutes, and waltz of the flowers. All of these play throughout the ballet to represent the different scenes in the production. You often hear the strings, brass/horns, and the use of a full orchestra. The tempo changes throughout the movement, depending on the scene and what goes on in the scene. Example, Waltz of The Flowers begins with a slow harp melody, but blossoms into a section led by the horns, followed by the main melody being dominated over the strings, and finally the full composition closing off with a full orchestra.
Style is considered less important because all different styles can still make someone feel a similiar way. Substance is more important because art is about how it makes a person feel
