Andantino (ballet)
... that Jerome Robbins' ballet Andantino had been compared to figure skating?Source: "Peter Boal and Margaret Tracey, who appeared in "Andantino," which is set to the second movement of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto, could be viewed simply as young, articulate dancers. They moved through the choreography's lifts with great sweep, and the partnering, spiced with skating silhouettes, was rendered with finesse." ([1])ALT1:... that Jerome Robbins made the ballet Andantino to music by Tchaikovsky, even though he had no interest in choreographing to the composer's works?Source: offline

Interesting ballet on great music, on plenty of good sources, no copyvio obvious. Sorry, I'd almost prefer the struck ALT. I think Andantino without a hint at the well-known and substantial music at least by a piped link is too harmless. It could be a petitesse. I like his quote saying that he doesn't like the music but it can still be good, something like that. You could reopen the ALT, or do something about the original, or word another ALT, or ask for a different reviewer. I suggest you mention the specific music under parameter music (not: composer) in the infobox, here and for other ballets where it's known and has an article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:20, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- The music parameter for the infobox is for the composer, not the work, not sure why. I crossed out ALT1 when I thought that fact would be better for another article I'm currently working on, but I managed find some other things that might be good for DYK, so I'm proposing the following hook to include the quote, and a pipe link for the concerto since it would be too long.
- ALT2:... that Jerome Robbins choreographed the ballet Andantino to music by Tchaikovsky, despite his lack of interest, because "you don't necessarily have to enjoy doing something for it to be good"? Corachow (talk) 14:01, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
thank you, ALT2 by far preferred as saying much more about the choreographer than the figure-skating. I piped the music differently to not make it look like a link to music. - I think the infobox is strange regarding the music, but have no time/energy to change that. It seems sooo relevant to know which exact piece of music (at least in some cases) vs. a prolific composer, leaving a vast field of possibilities. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:36, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
