Five Brahms Waltzes in the Manner of Isadora Duncan

(

)

... that Frederick Ashton's ballet Five Brahms Waltzes in the Manner of Isadora Duncan took inspiration from a performance by Isadora Duncan he saw when he was 17? Source: "When Frederick Ashton choreographed Five Brahms Waltzes in the Manner of Isadora Duncan, he was drawing on his own 55-year-old memories of the great dancer. Back in 1921 he was a ballet-obsessed 17-year-old while Duncan, aged 44, was well past her prime." ([1])

Would like to review, but later. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:25, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Interesting ballet and story, on fine sources, no copyvio opbvious. In the hook, I believe mentioning the flying petals would be extra hooky. In the article, I am no friend of the wording "her petal dance to", and I count to 6 numbers for waltzes. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:33, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I corrected the problems. According to a dance company's website, Waltz No. 1 is used as a prelude before the dancer enters, somehow I forgot to put that in the article. Corachow (talk) 21:06, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
