Travel back in time to meet Piotr Ilitch Tchaikovsky by following Minime, a charming little mouse who loves cheese and music! Sasha and Bobik are impatiently awaiting the arrival of their favorite uncle who is coming to join them for the holidays. This highly talented musician is not like other grown-ups: on each visit, he brings them gifts and seems to have all the time in the world for them. However, this time, the children will find it difficult to hide their disappointment by receiving a simple music book. How could they know that the new songs created for them by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky would one day delight children all over the world?
The narrated tale, followed by some biographical notes, includes the recordings “German Song”, “Neapolitan Song”, “The March of the Wooden Soldiers”, “Babayaga the Witch”, and “Kamarinskaya” from the Album for Youth.
