She has the best ear for music and dance musicality of any dance critic writing today.\"--Alastair Macaulay, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e \"The book is modest and, at the same time, utterly self-assured. Anyone who cares about Balanchine should buy it immediately.\"--Joan Acocella, \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e \"A remarkable new book. Immediately takes its place among the half-dozen or so essential books on George Balanchine.\"--Robert Gottlieb in the \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e In this deliciously evocative new volume, Nancy Goldner returns to offer in-depth discussions of twenty more of George Balanchine's ballets. As in the critically acclaimed \u003ci\u003eBalanchine Variations\u003c\/i\u003e, Goldner's focus is not on history or biography but on the dances themselves: the technique, the coordination with music, the storytelling, and the evolution of Balanchine's style.\u003cbr\u003e This encore performance features provocative and insightful descriptions and analyses of a group of works spanning forty years (1941-1981) and includes profiles of \u003ci\u003eBallet Imperial\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBugaku\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCoppelia\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDivertimento No. 15\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLa Valse\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSymphony in C\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Union Jack\u003c\/i\u003e, among many others. Inspiring, exquisite, and thought-provoking, \u003ci\u003eMore Balanchine Variations\u003c\/i\u003e is both a delightful meditation on and an essential critical examination of some of the twentieth century's most extraordinary works of art. \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\"Pure joy. Even more exciting and wonderfully imaginative than the author's previous volume, this collection of personal essays about some of George Balanchine's most beloved ballets takes a reader through deep levels of Balanchine's sensibility. Nancy Goldner illuminates the organization of the works, their construction on the level of dance technique and its coordination with music, and--most marvelous--the spooky and passionate stories embedded within their 'plotless' maneuvers.\"--Mindy Aloff, editor of \u003ci\u003eLeaps in the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eNancy Goldner\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eBalanchine Variations\u003c\/i\u003e, was a dance critic for the \u003ci\u003eChristian Science Monitor\u003c\/i\u003e, the\u003ci\u003e Nation\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003ePhiladelphia Inquirer\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eDance News\u003c\/i\u003e for twenty five years\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBALANCHINE is a registered trademark of The George Balanchine Trust.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNancy Goldner\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eBalanchine Variations\u003c\/i\u003e, was a dance critic for the \u003ci\u003eChristian Science Monitor\u003c\/i\u003e, the\u003ci\u003e Nation\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003ePhiladelphia Inquirer\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eDance News\u003c\/i\u003e for twenty five years\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 30, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42733992837183,"sku":"9780813037530","price":29.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/5ea141f3ceeedd9ba49f7f82360c5234.webp?v=1765138248","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/more-balanchine-variations-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
