The Classical Audio Poll (Part III: Themes & Cartoons)19 of 33
Title: "Nutcracker"
"Trepak (Russian Dance)"
Composer (year): Tchaikovsky (1892)
Number: 54
Theme: Although the first memorable use was in the thistle-dance sequence in Fantasia (1940), it is fair to say that this movement is now associated with the frenetic and thrilling excitement of Christmas from Home Alone (1990) to Jingle All the Way (1996), generally used when people try to get something or to something, always running.
