Choreography by George Balanchine: A Catalogue of Works
New York: Eakins Press Foundation, 1983. First Edition. Beige Cloth. Beige cloth, in an acetone dustjacket, in a cardboard publisher's slipcase. Yellowed spine, in a very good slipcase with closed tears to corners of open end. Internals as new. This catalogue covers every known work staged or choreographed by Balanchine, including ballets, opera dances, operettas, movies, staged choral works, musicals, straight plays, concert works, television, and circus, and also includes a schematic chronology of his life and work. Balanchine, a Russian émigré who worked with Sergei Diaghilev in London before coming to America in 1933, is aptly described in the preface as follows: "If he is to be compared with anyone in his time in the frame of his own talents, visual or plastic or musical, these must be Picasso and Stravinsky."
