Ballet music
Music may be composed specially for a ballet. Distinguishing feature of the
ballet music: it is the orientation on the emotional character and motility of
dance movement, connection between scene activity.
But a choreographer usually chooses music that has been already composed and
recorded. Music also can give the choreographer idea of the future ballet. When
choreographers select music, they think about what the music may say. They can
work with a dramatist, who write the story of ballet, or work alone.
Ballet movements which are found by the ballet master not always follow the
music's rhythms exactly. These movements must correspond to the music's general
character. One of the first ones, who put ballets not designed for the music on
the scene, was Alexander Gorsky.
