The first, \u003ci\u003eBallet Russe: Memoirs of Nicolas Legat\u003c\/i\u003e, takes readers into the last three decades of the Imperial Ballet before the 1917 Russian Revolution. Written by Nicolas Legat (1869-1937), one of the great creative geniuses of classical ballet, these memoirs recount Legat's experiences as principal dancer before he fled to Europe to escape the Russian Civil War. The book is filled with memorable character descriptions and includes some of Legat's unique, celebrated caricatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second, \u003ci\u003eHeritage of a Ballet Master: Nicolas Legat\u003c\/i\u003e, is a valuable testament to Legat's classroom pedagogy. Assembled by Legat student, professional dancer, and prolific author John Gregory (1914-1996) to showcase the four complete classes that Legat wrote out by hand for his student the ballet star Andr  Eglevsky (1917-1977), this book also features several Legat classes remembered by other students. In addition, it contains music for the classes, Legat's drawings, photographs of him in performance, and other archival material. It includes a brief biography of Legat and fascinating remembrances from his former students, among them Alicia Markova and L onide Massine, and a forward by Alexandra Danilova. Marked by their variety and musicality, Legat's teachings are preserved here for future generations of dancers to discover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mindy Aloff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813068126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813068121\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 04\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.01w x 0.45d","brand":"Mindy Aloff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983705211135,"sku":"9780813068121","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5cbcbd5-6bc4-462c-96eb-355f34144c2b.jpg?v=1683268233","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-legat-legacy-mindy-aloff-9780813068121","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
