Episodes (ballet)

Episodes (ballet)

"Episodes" is a ballet made by New York City Ballet co-founder and balletmaster George Balanchine to Anton von Webern's "Symphony", Op. 21; "Five Pieces", Op. 10; "Concerto", Op. 24; and "Ricercata in Six Voices from Bach's Musical Offering". The premiere took place May 19, 1959, at City Center of Music and Drama, New York. "Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein invited Martha Graham to choreograph a joint work with Balanchine using all of Webern's orchestral pieces. The result was no true collaboration but a work comprised of two separate sections. Graham's contribution, "Episodes I", was danced by her company plus four dancers from New York City Ballet. "Episodes II", created by Balanchine, was danced by New York City Ballet and Paul Taylor, who was then a dancer in Graham's company. After 1960, Graham's section and the solo variation were no longer performed at New York City Ballet." [ [http://www.nycballet.com NYCB website] ]
