| Abstract | "A Companion not only to Stravinsky's path-breaking score, but to the ballet's legacy across the centuries. It illuminates the controversial Ballets Russes premiere in 1913 and the complex artistic developments and scholarly debates it set in motion, intertwining music, theatrical ballet and modern dance with the wider world of ideas"-- Provided by publisher. |
