It’s a bald but undeniable fact that the finest ballets are driven by the finest music. But finding composers who understood how to write for dance wasn’t always easy. Franklin follows ballet’s escape from the French court\, its long-standing partnership with opera\, and the first great scores by Gluck\, Beethoven\, Adolphe Adam\, and Léo Delibes.

His exquisite vision of fairytale beauty demanded an entirely new level of choreographic expression\, and both dancers and choreographers struggled to match his dramatic sweep. By surveying the history of Swan Lake\, The Nutcracker\, and The Sleeping Beauty\, Franklin offers insights into a new tradition of dance music that laid the groundwork for our richest ballet experiences today.

S. Bach publicly\, commissioned new ones from his sons\, and built an incalculably valuable library of Bach family manuscripts. The Italian-born Princess Cristina Beljiojoso used her glamorous Parisian salon to raise money for her country’s political exiles by dreaming up extravagant musical events for adoring pianist friends\, who included Liszt and Chopin.

The avant-garde artist Natalia Goncharova designed groundbreaking costumes and scenery for ballets such as the Firebird and the Golden Cockerel. And the brilliant\, charismatic heiress Ida Rubinstein braved incarceration in an asylum by her horrified family to become one of the most fearless modern dancers in Paris\, acting\, commissioning\, and eventually directing her own ballet company with Nijinsky as her choreographer.
