| dc.description.abstract | Ludwig Minkus is accredited with composing several ballets in late 19th century Russia
and Paris that were great successes, yet the life and music of Minkus have faded into
obscurity, and little is known or written about him. The purpose of this thesis is to bring
Minkus somewhat to the forefront from two perspectives - from both music history and
dance history. Through analysis of scores, recordings (of music and dance), contemporary
accounts, interviews, and personal experience as a dancer, I plan to shed light on the source
of his popularity - including the means by which Minkus consistently produced music that
so well accommodated choreography - and why his works remain standards of the ballet
repertoire all over the world. | |
