THE CHOREOGRAPHIC ART

An Outline of Its Principles and CraftFifty years ago, the word choreography would have evoked small response, but during that period a public for Ballet has grown up, and an examination of Ballet s components is no longer confined in its interest to members of the profession.The present volume therefore appears at an appropriate moment. It is the product of a collaboration extending over some six years and is concerned with the choreographic art. It is not a practical manual on how to compose ballets and dances, but a detailed examination of the manifold problems that confront the choreographer. It is a pioneer work on a very difficult subject, and it is apposite to consider first the qualifications of the two authors.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
