LES SYLPHIDES—*Waltz* in C# Minor, Piano

Описание: If you have ever wondered what Les Sylphides sounded like with the original piano music, this video is for you!

Oksana Skorik and Xander Parish from the Mariinsky are the dancers!

A mistake on my part: This is the Waltz in C# Minor, not the nocturne. I know I typed that in the title slide, but oops, I guess... my apologies.

From Wikipedia:

"Les Sylphides is a short, non-narrative ballet blanc. Its original choreography was by Michel Fokine, with music by Frédéric Chopin orchestrated by Alexander Glazunov. Glazunov had already set some of the music in 1892 as a purely orchestral suite, under the title Chopiniana, Op. 46. In that form, it was introduced to the public in December 1893, conducted by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

The ballet, described as a "romantic reverie", is frequently cited as the first ballet to be simply about mood and dance. Les Sylphides has no plot but instead consists of several white-clad sylphs dancing in the moonlight with the "poet" or "young man" dressed in white tights and a black tunic."

I own the video of the piano playing, which was done and taped by me.
