Pas de deux and Variations from the Russian and European Ballets

The music from classical ballets of XIX–beginning of XX centuries is very well known to each musician that is related to the ballet art anyhow. Those ballets have long and successful life on stage and constitute without doubts the golden part of the world heritage of the classical art. Not all of them endured the time well, some were lost, from some we know only separate scenes, but even those fragments are still in the repertoire of modern ballet soloists
