Mel Johnson Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 A late comment on Toshiro Mayuzumi's score for "Bugaku". His stuff isn't everyone's cup of matcha, but I've played other works of his as a French Horn player and it's fun to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Reed Posted October 19, 2000 Share Posted October 19, 2000 A footnote to alexandra's post of 22 September. In the third paragraph, I won't quarrel with the judgement that it's a great book, but the title is either "Balanchine's Complete Stories of the Great Ballets" or possibly the shorter, soft-cover "101 Stories of the Great Ballets", not "Great Books of the Ballet". This may help anyone who is looking for a copy as a result of seeing the title here, although, to try to help further, I think both versions are out of print, including the two-volume version of "Complete..." published in England by Comet Press in 1983, the year of Balanchine's death.

Alexandra Posted October 20, 2000 Author Share Posted October 20, 2000 Thanks, Jack, but I think people are used to the times when my fingers are faster than my brain, since no one's been on a search this past month. The paperback version, at least, is in print, as it's on sale at the Kennedy Center Gift Shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Leigh Posted October 20, 2000 Share Posted October 20, 2000 And the hard cover version is often available at second hand book stores. I have seen it in the one here in Bethesda several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted October 21, 2000 Share Posted October 21, 2000 There are tons of copies of the (longer)Balanchine book at The Strand in New York City. I believe they do business over the web too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
