2.22. Where can I find recorded music for ballet?

If you're looking for pieces for performances (i.e., things like
"Swan Lake" or "Petrouchka," any well-stocked store that carried fine music
should have these. The only problem is when the music has been adapted
from some other source--for example, Tudor's "Lilac Garden." You will have
to look in a reference book to find that this was choreographed to
Chausson's Poeme for Cello & Orchestra.

If you're looking for recordings for class, the search is usually
harder, because these recordings are not generally stocked. One
possibility:

The Ballet Company
1887 Broadway
New York, New York 10023
(212) 246-6893
Fax (212) 246-6899

There is also a listing of music for dance class websites in Dance Links'
Miscellaneous Resources section:
