Synopsis
Theoretical and Practical Treatise on Dancing
$49.99
Published by DanceBooks
First published in Naples in 1779, Magri's treatise on dance technique and execution is the single most important work bridging the gap between pre-romantic ballet technique and the beginnings of classical technique as we know it today
As a result of the author's idiosyncratic use of Italian the work was long thought to be untranslatable, a handicap here triumphantly overcome by the English dance scholar Mary Skeaping
