The great history of Russian ballet
Although the techniques of classical ballets were invented by French and Italian masters two hundred years ago, the Russian Ballet refined these techniques, thus enhancing its already superb performances. This book uncovers the Great History of Russian Ballet, its art and choreography.
Eight Female Classical Ballet Variations
From the graceful flutter of Princess Florine at Sleeping Beauty's wedding to the playful jetées in the first act of Giselle, the variation - or short solo work - is one of the key elements of classical ballet. Arguing that true artistry requires in-depth knowledge, author Nina Danilova has worked with students for many years to focus on performing individual variations with the greatest extent of technical proficiency and artistic sensitivity. Eight Female Classical Ballet Variations lays out eight variations in the ballerina's repertoire. Each chapter is divided into five sections: a piano reduction of the score; a contextual note covering the history of the ballet, the plot, and memorable dancers who have performed the role; and instructions for dancing the variation itself, illustrated step by step. Accompanied by a comprehensive companion website, Eight Female Classical Ballet Variations pairs Danilova's method of teaching students with her decades of pedagogical experience.
Ballet Music
Musicians who work professionally with ballet and dance companies sometimes wonder if they haven’t entered a foreign country—a place where the language and customs seem so utterly familiar and so bafflingly strange at the same. To someone without a dance background, phrases and terms--boy’s variation, pas d’action, apothéose—simply don’t fit their standard musical vocabulary. Even a familiar term like adagio means something quite different in the world of dance. Like any working professional, those conductors, composers, rehearsal pianists, instrumentalists and even music librarians working with professional ballet and dance companies must learn what dance professionals talk abo...
Les maréchaux de Staline
La vie – et la mort – des dix-sept maréchaux de Staline. Que savons-nous des maréchaux que Staline a élevés, ces hommes à qui l'on doit la création de l'Armée rouge et sa formidable victoire contre l'Allemagne nazie et le Japon impérial ? Certains figurent parmi les plus grands capitaines du siècle passé : Toukhatchevski, Chapochnikov, Joukov, Vassilevski, Koniev, Rokossovski, Malinovski, Tolboukhine. À leurs noms s'attache aussi la conquête de l'Europe orientale et centrale, et son intégration au monde soviétique. L'on sait moins que nombre d'entre eux ont joué un rôle politique important dans les dix ans qui ont suivi la mort de leur maître, et ce jusqu'à la fin des années soixante. Cet ouvrage unique en son genre donne à suivre des parcours individuels stupéfiants, parfois tragiques, quelques fois rocambolesques, toujours inattendus. Le récit de ces dix-sept vies parallèles compose ainsi une fresque immense qui va de la Première Guerre mondiale à la crise des fusées à Cuba, de l'océan Pacifique à Berlin, des défilés glorieux sur la Place rouge aux geôles de la Loubianka.
Bolshoi Confidential: Secrets of the Russian Ballet from the Rule of the Tsars to Today
In this “incredibly rich” (New York Times) definitive history of the Bolshoi Ballet, visionary performances onstage compete with political machinations backstage. A critical triumph, Simon Morrison’s “sweeping and authoritative” (Guardian) work, Bolshoi Confidential, details the Bolshoi Ballet’s magnificent history from its earliest tumults to recent scandals. On January 17, 2013, a hooded assailant hurled acid into the face of the artistic director, making international headlines. A lead soloist, enraged by institutional power struggles, later confessed to masterminding the crime. Morrison gives the shocking violence context, describing the ballet as a crucible of art and politi...

Under the Sky of My Africa
A wide-ranging consideration of the nature and significance of Pushkin's African heritage Roughly in the year 1705, a young African boy, acquired from the seraglio of the Turkish sultan, was transported to Russia as a gift to Peter the Great. This child, later known as Abram Petrovich Gannibal, was to become Peter's godson and to live to a ripe old age, having attained the rank of general and the status of Russian nobility. More important, he was to become the great-grandfather of Russia's greatest national poet, Alexander Pushkin. It is the contention of the editors of this book, borne out by the essays in the collection, that Pushkin's African ancestry has played the role of a "wild card" ...
