The only String Sextet composed by Tchaikovsky is a music filled with melodies, harmonies and enchanting rhythms; inspired by the beautiful city of Florence. The score is so lively and vigorous; it served as an impulse of energy that has inspired Ángel Corella's first choreography for the Corella Ballet.

Divided in four movements; the first is an introduction to the city of Florence and it's history, full of nerve and life; The second movement is peaceful and quite, where a serene single ballerina is twisted and embraced by seven male dancers, solid as the Florentine monuments; Third movement is an impetuous burst of energy generated by a sole male dancer circled by six female dancers who capture the cheerfulness of the citizens of Florence, an energy that converges altogether in a fourth movement: the whole Florentine splendour as a Ballet.
