Solor Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I just bought an very old piano reduction of Drigo's 2 act "Harlequinade" off of Ebay. Although the manuscript is for piano, it also specifies orchestration. It also has stage directions in french. Theres a dedication in to an Alexandra Feodorovna? It also gives a listing of the orignal cast. I was wondering if anying knows anything about this book? 1. http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/241/harlequinade54fz.jpg 2. http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/9751/harlequinade11nd.jpg 3. http://img284.imageshack.us/img284/950/harlequinade27sn.jpg 4. http://img277.imageshack.us/img277/3013/harlequinade34lk.jpg 5. http://img284.imageshack.us/img284/5130/harlequinade43jl.jpg Link to comment
rg Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 the dedication page to alexandra feodorovna refers to the empress alexandra, wife of tsar nicholas II the pugni/humpbacked horse piano score i have is dedicated to marfa muraveyva, the first tsar maiden. these mss. seem variously dedicated to royal family or to leading ballerinas.
