This work features a clarinet quartet for three-performer section that shares a name with both a French Cake and a reed pipe, "Danse des Mirltons." That dance occurs in a portion of this work that follows a nautical journey by the main characters and internationally themed ones named for caffeinated drinks and candies. Those portions are performed during a dream sequence in a realm that features such fixtures as a palace made of jellybeans where a character who ends that act with a pax des deux gives a tour to the two main characters, one of whom attacks a large rodent in order to protect the other, a present given to her by her eccentric godfather. For 10 points, name this Hoffman-inspired ballet by Tchaikovsky.
