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.

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.
