Note
The premiere of this ballet intended for the Stravinsky Centennial Celebration took place two weeks after its official close. Balanchine had first choreographed a solo for Suzanne Farrell to this music as the final section of his 1966 work for the New York City Ballet [353], in which the music was played three times. The 1982 ballet was entirely rechoreographed. This was Balanchine’s final work.
