Ballet an
its Music traces the
influence of the
outstanding personalities
in the world of ballet
from the seventeenth
century to the present
day. The development of
dance-technique and
ballet music is followed
from the courtly and
peasant dances of the
High Renaissance through
to contemporary
productions. The author
deals in detail not only
with the great
choreographers, past and
present, but also with
the composers whose names
are especially linked
with ballet and who have
made a significant
contribution to music for
the dance. She combines a
historical narrative with
a perceptive treatment of
world-famous Schools and
Companies. Ballet and its
Music is copiously
illustrated with
photographs and
engravings. A special
feature of the book is
the collection of music
extracts from many famous
ballets, arranged for
piano solo, which will
make it particularly
attractive to the student
an amateur musician.
Althrough primarily
intended for young people
embarking on a study of
ballet, the wealth of
information contained in
this book will make it a
stimulating and
invaluable guide for
readers of all ages.
