Vanslov, V. V. Reform of the Ballet Music in Performances of Diaghilev Non-Repertory Theatre

Abstract: The article analyzes some signifi cant reforms of the Russian ballet art which deepened its content and raised its artistic level. The fi rst reform is connected with Tchaikovsky and the second one was related to composers involved in Diachilev Theatre (such as Stravinsky, Prokofi ev and others). Even though their creative work is well studied, the role of their ballet music reform has not clearly defi ned yet. The article is the author’s attempt to fi ll in the gap.
