With references to Leigh Hunt, Aristotle, and Denis Diderot, Edgecombe discusses mimesis, mime and narrative as part of late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century ballet music, including Gluck's Don Juan, Mozart's Les petits riens, Auber's La muette de Portici, Adam's Giselle, Glazunov's Raymonda and Tchaikovsky's Sleeping beauty, Nutcracker and Swan lake. Also discusses rebellions against such dramatic interpretations of music by twentieth-century choreographers Michel Fokine and Alexander Gorsky.
