As a music lover who loves the actual, full original music/ballet lasting about 53 minutes long, I was disappointed by the shifting and condensing Mr. B did in the 1970s versus the early 1950s version. I just couldn't separate the complete score from the distilled version.

Conrad Ludlow was one of the most glorious partners in ballet history. He provided subtle, rock solid security to his ballerinas while showing them off to their best advantage. Watching him dance with Verdy, Kent, and Farrell is sheer beauty and joy.

Interestingly, Jacques d'Amboise says that Apollo was the only ballet in which Mr Balanchine discussed motivation, gave imagery, and reflected on his past version. About 17:00 in kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKexoYaHf92EaJI

It's a fabulous creation with no evidence of any storybook pantomime. It's a historic technical wonder of the famous Balanchine/Stravinsky combo mámbo friendship. Helgi and Patty were perfect together. The 72 festival was a once in a lifetime experience. I saw I think 12 of the premieres, including this one. Helgi got a huge loud ovation, and Patty looked so happy and at ease. She was a complete Prima Ballerina with a devastating stage presence. The good news is that the great Balanchine Premier Danseur JOHN CLIFFORD has the original version posted on his channel. It's stunning. Check it out. La Reynolds was very chatty, Cathy here, but God, I love her!!! It's hard to find someone who lives and loves Balanchine like her!!! Great post!!!

Unfortunate how Nancy Reynolds seems to be talking down to Patty and Helgi like are not even aware of what they were doing, and she alone is the source of all knowledge and continues to interupt them. They both danced with the Company, were Principals.

A good, open question and then pass it to the people who learned, and danced it. I'm so interested in their experience. I know Ms Reynolds needs to introduce the ballet, but I'd rather hear more from Patty, and Helgi; Ms Reynolds interrupts them more often than, I feel, was necessary. Ms Reynold gives me the feeling that she wants to tell how much she knows; Personally, I want to hear what the dancer knows. Alastair Macaulay interviews for the Foundation are, to me, the sweet spot of an interviewer presenting background for viewer; contextualizing and then asking the question. In his interviews, he enables the dancers to tell how much they know. Such a contrast between Macaulay and Reynolds. Either way, I'm so thankful the Foundation arranges, and records interviews with dancers who worked with Mr. Balanchine; some who had the work created on them. As time goes by, there are fewer folks alive who learned these masterpieces from the master himself.

Clumsy interviewer asks the first question and indicates the big man should answer. Suspense. Admirably, the big man hands it to the little lady.

This is great. It explains why I, a musician, have always found this variation to be so piquant. As an aside, why do some ballerinas break off the backward hops just when they become interesting?

Tchai Pas is one of my (many) favorites from Balanchine. As a professional musician who adores Mr. B’s work (and NYC Ballet), it is especially interesting to see how Balanchine’s musical training/thinking informs his choreography through the prism of this one variation. I’ve thought a lot about it this subject-how Balanchine’s work is, truly, “like seeing the music”-over the course of my decades of enjoying his work, but Kara Yoo Leaman’s analysis of this variation is scholarship on a whole other, illuminating, fascinating level. Thank you for sharing Leaman’s research…it’s something I’d love to hear and learn more about. For example, I’d welcome more videos like this…or even be a regular series!

Is there more footage of this coaching? I have a vague and distant memory of having seen on television Dame Markova coach a young dancer on some very tiny, dainty steps of a bird. And each time she indicated a step, Markova would utter a "tee!" sound. And the memory has some connection to Stravinsky, so I figure it had to have been from this document. I would give anything to see it again; it's such a precious moment.

Having seen Edward and Patty dance this many times I can say that although these dancers are good they just don't have that exciting abandon of the two greats that originated the ballet. Same with the brilliant soloist. Pat Neary and Marnee Morris were both unbelievable.

I'm glad Peter kept Kay on. And having her co-chair the School of American Ballet. That's perfect! I remember how Stephanie Selby talked about her in A VERY YOUNG DANCER--her whole experience, getting an autographed pair of her toe shoes right after the performance. Now as we all know... When dancers are too old to dance (at least professionally), they should have something else to do. When the hoofer can't hoof anymore... All of Balanchine's ballerinas should have a job at NYCB... Including Eddie Villella. Why did he have to up and go to Miami? I wish Peter himself had stayed. The man's soul seemed to belong to the City Ballet...

When I finally took myself to Melissa's NY studio, as I exited the elevator, she shouted from her office, "Roland, where have you been?! I've been waiting for you. !" To be so welcomed into a ballet studio (honored, really) was revolutionary because I had been part of the group of black dancer who would invade segregated studios in order to liberate them. I had met my heroes Melissa and Violette at Maggie Black's studio, where every dancer in the world would show up. She too welcomed everyone, but with Melissa, I was taught everything that she speaks about in this interview. Her students would be snatched up by companies because of the simplicity and musicality of their movement. We loved for her generosity and her temperament. God bless you, Melissa! RIP

Vaganova's book talks about the combination of the italian and french schools to make the russian style and that sort of feels like what is happening here. the original, 'grotesque' form of italian dancing at the imperial theatre (as shown by the italians when they first arrived) was much more angular and aggressive than the french school, which i feel is shown nicely by the emeralds and rubies sections.

Anna said Agon is convulated? Really? Not a great word for it, I don't think. Anyway, Mr. Mitchell affected me from very early childhood when I looked at photos of he and Diana Adams in Agon from books from the library. It was shocking to see a dark African American hand on a white hand, believe it or not. I idolized Arthur Mitchell, and Balanchine and Diana Adams. Mitchell is so handsome, elegant, charismatic, wonderful personality, wonderful dancer, beautiful body, refined, funny, fun, and so deeply reverent of ballet and of Balanchine. What a treasure he was. Never forgotten. His Dance Theatre of Harlem was a monumental achievement. p.s. Sound volume is too low. Interviewers need to make sure to have adequate sound levels. But it's so wonderful to capture the great Arthur Mitchell in interview.
