| Abstract | There is a special value to this book which none other has--namely the opportunity for two Russians with a specialized knowledge of Tchaikovsky to speak to each other on the same ground. Balanchine, as always when speaking his native tongue, expresses himself more freely here than in English. As a result, he touches upon many points that are of particular interest to his ballet public. |
