"The Nutcracker" by Tchaikovsky
I swear, even I'm not sure if this is the actual name of the composition, but it sure is hilarious. As for the piece itself, it's good. I remember hearing it in "There is no Game".
Particularly dance of the sugar plum fairies.
Ah, so that's what it was actually called.
The Nutcracker Suite is a whole ballet with a running time of an hour and a half. People are familiar with almost every part of it, though. Because it's a Christmas confection.

I get it now.
Sorry I was too lazy to look up which part you were talking about. Interested, but lazy. Looks like it's the Sugar Plum Fairy, which is one of the main solos of the ballet as well.
Oh yeah, that was the name of a ballet.
Not gonna lie, the composition matches that dance style pretty well.
Love going to the Hollywood Bowl in the summer when the LA Phil plays that, with fireworks for the cannons!
