Prom 2: Mozart, Ravel and Fauré - 14.07.18

[Lat-Literal]

I know it's a massive question, but has there ever been a greater ballet score than this one? I know there are works by Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky that reach similar heights.

This interesting question can be considered in two ways.

The second is from the perspective of dance.

Tchaikovsky has some of the most memorable ballet music.

Much of it isn't especially suited to ballet as in dancing.

I’ll nominate Bliss Adam Zero, and second with Copland’s Rodeo, Billy The Kid, and Appalachian Spring

Indeed Lat, most times I listen to ballet scores it is for the great music not for the dancing.

Ever seen a production, RF ? There was a new one in Germany a couple of years ago.
