NET Festival; 44; Apollo and Igor Stravinsky

For me probably a very tender age. Perhaps by the time he was 10 he knew all the standard ballets he knew the steps the positions. In fact if you watch him take a bow at the end of the concert tour here in Hamburg at the end of the first performance will surely come on stage to keep the house in the tradition of the

American skier but he has a very keen eye for classic ballet. However at the time the piece first valet's broke upon the scene. The class of ballet was already in some some decline that was interesting new music was not being written for it and it did come into a sort of barren period. That of course is the achievements of the left who started who had the idea who saw instruments. Somebody who could rejuvenating the ballet for the first time in the history of music you have a major composer appearing through the ballet

in a work like choreography to Stravinsky's movements for piano orchestra. This seems to me almost more successful than some overtly composed ballet pieces. Stravinsky's ballet music is said to be the greatest ever written. He has been called Platinum grasshopper scooting along at the head of the pack attacked. One critic explained that it is hard to make a father image of an insect Balanchine of New York a master of movement is one of the few who has kept pace with Stravinsky unlike an earlier collaborator Nijinsky Balanchine has a deep and

full understanding of music Stravinsky the perfect collaborator. Together they have dominated ballet for 40 years. There are young friends too. Robert Kraft conductor composer and teacher wrote to Stravinsky in 1947 for advice. They met and since that meeting craft has been musical assistant and constant companion is introduced to new trends and new people in music and has helped the old man to a second life. Another young friend was Dylan Thomas. They were going to write an opera together. A telegram announced that Dylan was dead and the old man wept. Halfway through the sessions too. I just wanted to see you
