Music of this famous ballet
for the Ballets Russes.
It is for Serge de Diaghilev's Ballets Russes that Georges Auric composed this ballet in 5 tableaux on an argument by Boris Kochno. The premiere took place at the Théâtre de la Gaîté-Lyrique on 17 June 1925, with the orchestra under the direction of Marc-César Scotto. Léonide Massine had signed the choreography, with Vera Nemchinova (the Young Girl), Lydia Sokolova (the Friend), Léon Woïdzikovsky, Théodore Slavinsky and Serge Lifar (the 3 Sailors); the curtain, set and costumes were by Pedro Pruna, a young Catalan painter. André Messager noted that Auric's music had "liveliness, verve and humour"; it was published by Heugel in 1925 (stamp of the
Heugel Archives on 3 pages).
This manuscript for piano for 4 hands is written in black ink on 24-line paper; it is dated at the end in blue ink: "May 1924-March 1925. Issoire. Le Canadel"; it presents some erasures and corrections; it was used for
the engraving of the edition.
