Edouard Deldevez

For the first time, we introduce Deldevez's ballet "Paquita" as a full three-act piano score, in the musical and scenic version from Petipa and Minkus (1881). Structurally, this edition is based upon the authentic violin repetiteur of the aforementioned production and the piano adaptation of Deldevez's music was sourced from the original 1846 Parisian orchestral score. In the appendixes, you will find various fragments from Deldevez's original score that were not included in Petipa's staging as well as some excerpts from the 1847 St. Petersburg version. Additionally, there are a wide range of variations that have been included in the Grand Pas over time as well as brief historical and biographical information. This edition also offers the possibility to compare the dramatic action from the original libretto alongside the corresponding musical numbers from the piano and original violin repetiteur scores. Our hope is that this edition will be useful to choreographers, ballet accompanists, ballet students, musicologists, ballet historians and anyone interested in the art of ballet.
