| Summary |
In this volume, Nancy Goldner offers in-depth discussions of twenty more of George Balanchine's ballets. Goldner's focus is not on history or biography but on the dances themselves: the technique, the coordination with music, the storytelling, and the evolution of Balanchine's style.--[book cover] |
