Theoretical and practical treatise on dancing.
Author: Magri, Gennaro
Published: 1988
First published in Naples in 1779, Magri's treatise on dance technique and execution is the single most important work bridging the gap between pre-romantic ballet technique and the beginnings of classical technique as we know it today. As a result of the author's idiosyncratic use of Italian the work was long thought to be untranslatable, a handicap here triumphantly overcome by the English dance scholar Mary Skeaping.
