Snowflakes Are Dancing is the second studio album by Japanese musician Isao Tomita, recorded in 1973–1974 and first released by RCA Records as a Quadradisc in April 1974.

SNOWFLAKES ARE DANCING 1974 (Debussy) (11 Debussy pieces) I love the range of styles in this album, the relaxing beauty, the depth of colors. The Snowflakes album is very enjoyable; one of the few CDs that I listen to again and again. To me, SNOWFLAKES is in TOMITA's top three. TOMITA's mixing choices could be better but even though I am pretty particular about sound quality, I do enjoy listening to this CD very much. And when I play my old 1985 CD, Loud on my car stereo system with good amp and subwoofer, it sounds great to me. The most important parts are clean. There is reverb at times, but it is natural, bouncing off things in the area.

Beginning in 1974, Tomita released a series of albums, each of which focused on the work of one or more classical composers as played on the Moog. The first, and perhaps best, of these was Snowflakes Are Dancing, which focused on the work of French composer Claude Debussy. This is because the musical tone poems of Debussy were particularly well-suited both to Tomita's electronic explorations, and to the lightheartedness of his work.
