A Classic

This is the most important Balanchine book - yet. Rich and thoughtful, and astonishingly generous to readers, in its intimacy with the author's judgments, no, passions - about ballets, ideas, dancers, that the author deeply cared about. Why haven't I read this book before? Why am I reading it only now? Anyway, it's precious.
