Book Description
Excerpt from Dance Index, Vol. 2: March, 1943 The manner in which Nijinsky's face changes from role to role is immediately striking. It is en hanced by makeup, but not created by it. In fact a friend pointed out that the only role In which one recognizes Nijinsky's civilian face is that of Petrouchka where he is most heavily made up. There is no mystery about such transformability. People don't usually realize how much any face changes in the course of a day, and how often it is unrecognizable for an instant or two. Nijinsky seems to have controlled the variability a face has. The same metamorphosis is obvious in his body. The Spectre for instance has no age or sex, the Faun is adolescent, the hero of Jeux has a body full grown and experienced. Till can be either boy or man. The Slave in Scheherazade is fat, the Spectre is thin. It does not look like the same body. One can say that in this sense there is no exhibitionism in Nijinsky's photographs. He is never showing you himself, or an interpreta tion of himself. He is never vain of what he is showing you; The audience does not see him as a professional dancer, or as a professional charmer. He disappears completely, and instead there is an imaginary being in his place. Like a classic artist, he remains 'detac - hed, unseen, unmoved, disinter ested. Looking at him, one is in an imaginary world, entire and very clear; and one's emotions are not directed at their material objects, but at their imag inary satisfactions. As he said himself, he danced with love. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Marian Smith recaptures a rich period in French musical theater when ballet and opera were intimately connected. Focusing on the age of Giselle at the Paris Opéra (from the 1830s through the 1840s), Smith offers an unprecedented look at the structural and thematic relationship between the two genres. She argues that a deeper understanding of both ballet and opera--and of nineteenth-century theater-going culture in general--may be gained by examining them within the same framework instead of following the usual practice of telling their histories separately. This handsomely illustrated book ultimately provides a new portrait of the Opéra during a period long celebrated for its box-office successes in both genres. Smith begins by showing how gestures were encoded in the musical language that composers used in ballet and in opera. She moves on to a wide range of topics, including the relationship between the gestures of the singers and the movements of the dancers, and the distinction between dance that represents dancing (entertainment staged within the story of the opera) and dance that represents action. Smith maintains that ballet-pantomime and opera continued to rely on each other well into the nineteenth century, even as they thrived independently. The "divorce" between the two arts occurred little by little, and may be traced through unlikely sources: controversies in the press about the changing nature of ballet-pantomime music, shifting ideas about originality, complaints about the ridiculousness of pantomime, and a little-known rehearsal score for Giselle. ?

Excerpt from Dance Index, Vol. 3: Three or Four Graces; Sept., Oct., Nov., 1944 It is proverbial that a brief question may take volumes to answer in full - as, Who was Louis XVII? A summary reply can always be given as, the Lost Dauphin - but that only poses more questions than it answers.
