Minor Ballet Composers: Biographical Sketches of Sixty-Six Underappreciated Yet Significant Contributors to the Body of Western Ballet Music
Introduction
page 1-4
Abstract
Ballet possesses a rich tradition of music written for the dance (though in some cases the music was appropriated for the ballet from other original designs). While every music-lover is familiar with the famous scores of Tchaikovsky, Delibes, and Stravinsky, many other lesser known composers also wrote for the ballet. Several of these composers (Leon Minkus and Cesare Pugni, for example) wrote almost exclusively for the ballet; all enriched the world of dance. This work presents biographical sketches, along with selected ballet stories from the ballets they helped create, of 66 lesser known ballet composers. An introduction, a glossary of selected choreographers, and an index of ballet titles is also included.
