{"product_id":"balanchine-variations-nancy-goldner-9780813032269","title":"Balanchine Variations","description":"The literature on Balanchine is vast, but it is primarily biographical. \u003ci\u003eBalanchine Variations \u003c\/i\u003eis the first book to concentrate on the ballets themselves, providing critical analysis and detailed descriptions of what the dancers actually do. Beginning with \u003ci\u003eApollo\u003c\/i\u003e (1928), Balanchine's first extant work, and ending with one of his last ballets, \u003ci\u003eBallo della Regina\u003c\/i\u003e (1978), Nancy Goldner offers detailed insights into more than twenty individual ballets. Based on lectures given across the United States, under the auspices of the Balanchine Foundation, they are intended to illuminate his art. Goldner discusses the history of each ballet, places each in the context of Balanchine's life and sensibility. She also addresses his taste in music and whether his style can be considered particularly American. The ballets Balanchine choreographed for the New York City Ballet are danced by companies around the world, and this innovative book is sure to become an indispensable guide to dancers and spectators alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Goldner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813032261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813032269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Florida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 6.27w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2008 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/11\/2008 pg. 93\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/09\/2008 pg. 41\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2008 pg. 85","brand":"Nancy Goldner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980588450047,"sku":"9780813032269","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_629dd411-ba94-46af-a1f2-41f02cbd970d.jpg?v=1683250758","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/balanchine-variations-nancy-goldner-9780813032269","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
