Note(s) : "Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Morgan Library & Museum in 2024,
this publication tells the story of the artistic collaborations of the Ballets Russes,
drawing upon the Robert Owen Lehman Collection of music manuscripts to illuminate
this rich history. The book weaves together the careers of the ballet company's creators,
featuring Igor Stravinsky, Claude Debussy, Michel Fokine, Bronislava Nijinska, and
Léon Bakst, interspersed with illustrations of autograph manuscripts, choreographic
notations, and stage designs associated with their works. Authors Robinson McClellan,
Assistant Curator of Music Manuscripts and Printed Music at the Morgan Library, and
Lynn Garafola, dance historian, examine key ballets such as "Firebird," "Petrouchka,"
"Afternoon of a Faun," and "Bolero," as well as the influence of the impresario Serge
Diaghilev, who founded the troupe at the height of the Belle Époque"-- Provided by

"A fresh look at the groundbreaking artistic collaborations of the Ballets Russes,
illuminated by a rich trove of visual material including music manuscripts, dance
notations, stage and costume designs, and photographs of performers.This book celebrates
one of the world's finest private gathering of music manuscripts, held on deposit
at the Morgan Library. Robert Owen Lehman's superb collection of French and Russian
ballet scores, including Firebird, Petrushka, Afternoon of a Faun, Bolero, and many
more, are shown here for the first time alongside the vivid stage designs and rarely
seen choreographic notations for these ballets. Together they offer a fresh view into
Serge Diaghilev's famed Ballets Russes troupe and its revitalization of ballet that
roiled Paris in the first decades of the twentieth century. These influential ballets
and their creators--composers Igor Stravinsky, Claude Debussy, and Maurice Ravel,
choreographers Michel Fokine, Vaslav Nijinsky, and Bronislava Nijinska, and artists
Léon Bakst, Alexandre Benois, and Natalia Goncharova--set a new agenda for European
art. As the 1930s began, a new international era of modern ballet was underway"
