Prelude in F minor, Op. 28, No. 18
Prelude in B flat minor, Op. 28, No. 16

The décor was by Saul Steinberg, the costumes by Irene Sharaff and the lighting by Ronald Bates; the premiere took place at City Center of Music and Drama, New York, on Tuesday, March 6th, 1956. Robbins made three subsequent ballets to Chopin's music: Dances at a Gathering, 1969; In the Night, 1970; and Other Dances, 1976, made on Mikhail Baryshnikov and Natalia Makarova.
