"The first distinctly Russian choreography was performed by Tsar Alexis Mikhailovich, and thus began the Tsar's passion for ballet. In 1738, the first professional school of dance opened in St. Petersburg. During the 18th century, the Russian Ballet became known for its tragic and comic ballets. The Russian ballet reached its apogee during the 19th century with the arrival of new masters, such as [Ivan] Valberg, [Charles] Didelot and [Adam] Glushkovsky, who choreographed works by Pushkin and Jokovsky. The second half of the century was marked by the collaboration of [Marius] Petipa, the French choreographer, with the Russian composer Tchaikovsky. In the early 20th century, Diaghilev delighted audiences in the West by presenting the Ballet Russe with supremely talented choreographers, dancers, conmposers and set designers."--Jacket.

Akim Volynsky was a Russian literary critic, journalist, and art historian who became Saint Petersburgs liveliest and most prolific ballet critic in the early part of the twentieth century. This book, the first English edition of his provocative and influential writings, provides a striking look at life inside the world of Russian ballet at a crucial era in its history. Stanley J. Rabinowitz selects and translates forty of Volynskys articlesvivid, eyewitness accounts that sparkle with details about the careers and personalities of such dance luminaries as Anna Pavlova, Mikhail Fokine, Tamara Karsavina, and George Balanchine, at that time a young dancer in the Maryinsky company whose keen musical sense and creative interpretive power Volynsky was one of the first to recognize. Rabinowitz also translates Volynskys magnum opus, The Book of Exaltations, an elaborate meditation on classical dance technique that is at once a primer and an ideological treatise. Throughout his writings, Rabinowitz argues in his critical introduction, which sets Volynskys life and work against the backdrop of the principal intellectual currents of his time, Volynsky emphasizes the spiritual and ethereal qualities of ballet.

This is a detailed history of ballet in Russia (with particular reference to St. Petersburg) from its origin to the third quarter of the 19th century. The groundwork of historical data is enlivened with notes on the different dancers, extracts from contemporary accounts of their appearances, the casts of important first performances, the stories of many of the ballets produced, and so on. We learn of the birth of interest in the Theatre early in the 17th century, during the reign of Tsar Alexis, of the Public Balls or Assemblies organised by Peter the Great, and of the establishment during the reign of the Empress Anne of a ballet company - recruited from the children of poor parents - directed by a French master called Landé. With each new reign the company increases in size, importance and talent under the successive influence of famous maîtres de ballet such as Didelot, Perrot, St.-Léon and Marius Petipa, and celebrated ballerine such as Marie Taglioni, Fanny Elssler, Carlotta Grisi, Fanny Cerrito, Caroline Rosati, Amalia Ferraris, Salvioni, Henriette d'Or and so forth. With such forces at work a line of illustrious Russian Stars is formed - Istomina, Kolosova, Zubova, Andreyanova, Petipa, Prikhunova, Bogdanova, Muravieva, Grantsova, Vazem, Sokolova and many others. The book is prefaced by a most interesting introduction by M. André Levinson, whose reputation as an historian and critic of dancing is world-wide, which presents an admirable survey of the development of Ballet in Russia from the "age of Petipa" to the conquering of both the Old World and the New by that glorious company - composed of hand-picked artists from the Imperial Ballet - directed by Serge Diaghilev.

In this rich interdisciplinary study Tim Scholl provides a provocative and timely re-evaluation of the development of ballet from the 1880s to the middle of the twentieth century. In the light of a thoughtful re-appraisal of dance classicism he locates the roots of modern ballet in the works of Marius Petipa, rather than in the much-celebrated choreographic experiements of Diaghilev's Ballet Russe. Not only is this the first book to present nineteenth- and twentieth-century ballet as a continuous rather than broken tradition, From Petipa to Balanchine places works such as Sleeping Beauty, Les Sylphides, Apollo and Jewells in their proper cultural and artistic context. The only English-language study to be based on the original Russian soures, this book will be essential reading for all dance scholars. Written in an engaging and elegant style it will also appeal to anyone interested in the history of ballet generally.
