«Сильфида», «Жизель». Сборник статей

The collection includes “La Sylphide” and “Giselle”, the early books by Y. I. Slonimsky which are complex works of the highest scientific level. The breadth of coverage of the stuff, deep knowledge of the analyzed subject and, at the same time, sincere love for the works under study, make them small masterpieces of scientific research thought. Slonimsky’s “La Sylphide” and “Giselle” are important as an example of the first studies telling about everything — the ballets’ plots, their creation and stage history, authors, and features of the productions. The edition will be of interest to musical theater theorists (ballet experts, musicologists, theater critics), its practitioners (performers, teachers, choreographers) and all lovers of ballet art.
