The Legat Legacy brings back into print two classic works that
offer rare insights into the golden age of Russian ballet. The
first, Ballet Russe: Memoirs of Nicolas Legat, takes readers into
the last three decades of the Imperial Ballet before the 1917
Russian Revolution. Written by Nicolas Legat (1869-1937), one of
the great creative geniuses of classical ballet, these memoirs
recount Legat's experiences as principal dancer before he fled to
Europe to escape the Russian Civil War. The book is filled with
memorable character descriptions and includes some of Legat's
unique, celebrated caricatures.The second, Heritage of a Ballet
Master: Nicolas Legat, is a valuable testament to Legat's classroom
pedagogy. Assembled by Legat student, professional dancer, and
prolific author John Gregory (1914-1996) to showcase the four
complete classes that Legat wrote out by hand for his student the
ballet star Andre Eglevsky (1917-1977), this book also features
several Legat classes remembered by other students. In addition, it
contains music for the classes, Legat's drawings, photographs of
him in performance, and other archival material. It includes a
brief biography of Legat and fascinating remembrances from his
former students, among them Alicia Markova and Leonide Massine, and
a forward by Alexandra Danilova. Marked by their variety and
musicality, Legat's teachings are preserved here for future
generations of dancers to discover.
