 The Cecchetti Legacy.
Author: Guest, Ann Hutchinson & Toby Bennett Published: 2007 The Cecchetti Legacy provides a more detailed account of the Cecchetti Method than has hitherto been available. Running to nearly 400 pages, and based largely on Ann Hutchinson Guest's notations from the 1950s and 1960s, this is a complete record of all of the enchaînements recorded in the Cecchetti Manuals, including some, which although not 'original', reflect important principles of the Method. The book will be of great use to anyone making an in depth study of Cecchetti's enchaînements as well as those interested in a more general study of their style and technique. It contains an extensive, discursive analysis of the Cecchetti style and technique using word descriptions and Labanotation example. In addition, all of the exercises and enchaînements are notated fully in Labanotation, providing a detailed account including some alternative versions taught by early teachers of the work. |
