youre welcome. the reason i am asking that is that we were learning to use music as a reference while making artwork in my art class at jesters. but i do love the nutcracker cause it is my favorite ballet. My favorite parts of the nutcracker are Trepak(that reminds me of either sledding or a sleigh ride gone wrong), and Waltz of the Flowers cause in the beginning, it is like you are going into a dream, and then it tells the story of someone trying to accomplish something but they give up a few times and by the end of the song, they accomplish it and feel proud of themselves. i also listen to different kinds of music, and i come up with some ideas for what to make. Sometimes i feel that the music is part of my dreams, depending on what happens in the dream, like if it is a love story it would have love songs, or if it is a sad story it would have sad music. I even listen to different genres and i think about how it affects the art or the stories i write.
