About

Chopin’s piano works - poetic, compact, varied in mood and often dance-inspired – have proved a rich source for ballet scores, whether orchestrated or in their original form. Serving abstract scenarios in Les Sylphides, produced by Fokine for Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, and Dances at a Gathering and The Concert, both conceived by Jerome Robbins for the New York City Ballet, in Frederick Ashton’s A Month in the Country they flesh out Turgenev’s comic drama of emotional upheaval.
