Whether you're looking for music to accompany ballet or dance classes, or just enjoy playing ballet music yourself, here is an inspiring collection from the great ballets. Denes Agay has once again selected and arranged pieces in "The Joy of Ballet Music" so an intermediate player as myself can sit down, and with a little practice play the ballet melodies I so love.Selections include: Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from The Nutcracker; Russian Dance from The Nutcracker; Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker; Sheherazade from The Young Prince and The Young Princess; Mazurka from Coppelia; Czardas from Coppelia; Valse Lente from Coppelia; The Sleeping Beauty Waltz from Aurora's Wedding; The Rose Adagio from The Sleeping Beauty; Scene from Swan Lake; Dance of the Little Swans from Swan Lake; Pas de Deux from Giselle; Grand Valse excerpt from Giselle; Pas de Fleurs from Naila; Scene from Bluebeard; Russian Sailor's Dance from The Red Poppy; Hesitation Waltz from The Red Poppy.And, Prelude from Les Sylphides; Nocturne from Les Sylphides; Saber Dance from Gayne; Theme from Prince Igor; Polovetzian Dance from Prince Igor; Can-Can from La Vie Parisienne; Pizzicato Polka from Sylvia; Aragonaise from Le Cid; Dance of the Hours from la Gioconda; Mirror Dance from Faust; Danse Antique from Faust; Dance of the Priestesses from Aida; Dance of the Princess from The Firebird; Finale from The Firebird; Pas de Six from William Tell; Polka from the Golden Age; Folk Dance from Romeo and Juliet; Bacchanale from Samson and Delilah; Valse Grotesque from Petroushka and Dance of the Ballerina from Petroushka.
All of the books by Mr. Agay are great. Every one. I have used his books for 30 years. Every one is well thought out and well written. As with most music, the type sized should be biggger especially if you want to sight read.
