SERENADE
Music by Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky (1840- 1893)
Serenade for strings in C, op op.48 (1880)
Serenade is a milestone in the history of dance. It is the first full-length ballet George Balanchine created in the United States and is one of the signature works of the New York City Ballet. Balanchine began the ballet as a lesson in stage technique and included unexpected events during rehearsal as part of the choreography. A student who falls or arrives late to rehearse became part of the ballet. After its premiere, Serenade underwent various modifications. In its present format there are four movements: «Sonatina», «Waltz», «Russian Dance” and «Elegy». The last two movements reverse the order of Tchaikovsky’s score, ending the ballet.
