Classical Ballet Variations II

Anthony J. Patterson, Pianist
 

Important Variations for your students' repertoire!

43 Variations - 49 Tracks

This CD provides more classical variations for dancers of intermediate

to professional levels. Mr. Patterson's eloquent phrasing captures the

feeling of the ballets represented contributing to the quality of

interpretation by the dancer. Six variations have two versions to

accommodate differences in choreography or phrasing.

"Beautifully constructed and performed, this disc creates an atmosphere

of artistic professionalism. We find the entire volume invaluable for the

inspiration it brings to the studio. Whether one is a professional dancer,

teaches ballet, or is a student of this wonderful art form, one will

appreciate this disc for its variety and outstanding quality."
