- Summary:
- This video from Balanchine Foundation Video Archives is devoted to examining selected passages of Balanchine's choreography in detail. In a studio setting, Merrill Ashley coaches Tiler Peck and Jonathan Stafford from New York City Ballet on Balanchine's Tschaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 2, renamed in 1973 from Ballet Imperial. Also Anna Kisselgoff interviews Merrill Ashley. The overall goal of the Video Archives Program is to create an original "manuscript" of Balanchine ballets by preserving not only the steps but the nuances of the choreography as conceived and taught to the dancers by Balanchine himself.
