These highly entertaining memoirs of Marius Petipa, the great
Franco-Russian choreogapher had never before been translated into
English before their first publication in 1958. As virtual dictator
of the Russian ballet in the second half of the 19th century,
Petipa moulded its course for many years and may have been said to
have created the style of classical dancing still known as Russian.
His renown is undisputed, and his work lives not only in the pages
of dance history but in the ballet repertoire of most Companies
today. Petipa's memoirs reveal many inter-esting details of his
career and of the people he worked with, including Tchaikovsky and
the young Pavlova, and give an insight into his character and
genius that it is not possible to gain from any other source.
Written towards the end of his long life, in a mood of disillusion,
when his work was neglected and in decline, he would have been
delighted to know that his great ballets such as Sleeping Beauty,
Swan Lake, and La Bayadere are more popular today than ever before.
