Igor Stravinsky, a towering composer of the twentieth century, was
closely linked to dance. His early commissions for Diaghilev's
Ballets Russes-The Firebird, Petrouchka, and The Rite of Spring-put
him on the international map and propelled both ballet and music
into the modern age. Even so, these brilliant pieces were but a
prelude to Stravinsky's lifelong exploration of dance and dance
idioms, as Charles M. Joseph convincingly demonstrates in this
penetrating survey of all of the composer's ballet music. Joseph
provides superb analyses of each of Stravinsky's ballet pieces,
examining the composer's own drafts, notes, and sketches to
discover how he conceived of and developed each work. The book also
explores how Stravinsky's unorthodox new music energized
colleagues, among them George Balanchine, and attracted a
glittering array of artists including Tamara Karsavina, Vaslav
Nijinski, Picasso, and Jean Cocteau. Joseph creates an intense,
intimate portrait of Stravinsky and offers a fresh perspective on
the musical revolutionary who changed the definition of music made
for dance.
