Sylph, Giselle. Collection of articles. Textbook for universities.

The collection includes early books by Yu. I. Slonimsky, 'Sylphide' and 'Giselle', which are complex works of the highest scientific level. The breadth of material coverage, deep knowledge of the subject of analysis, and at the same time sincere love for the studied compositions make them small masterpieces of scientific thought. 'Sylphide' and 'Giselle' by Slonimsky are important as examples of the first studies that tell about everything - the plots of ballets, the history of their creation, their existence on stage, authors, and staging features. The publication will be of interest to theorists of musical theater (ballet researchers, musicologists, theater researchers), its practitioners (performers, educators, ballet masters), and all lovers of ballet art.
