Glass Pieces

(

)

... that in preparation for the ballet Glass Pieces, choreographer Jerome Robbins marked down the structure of Philip Glass' music on graph paper? Source: "Mr. Robbins proceeded to study Mr. Glass's scores by making charts of their structure on graph paper" ([1])
- ALT1:... that choreographer and director Jerome Robbins first planned to create the ballet Glass Pieces to help him figure out the stage directions of Philip Glass' opera Akhnaten, but ended up withdrawing from the opera? Source: "Mr. Robbins then explained how he came to do Glass Pieces. He had been asked to direct Mr. Glass's new opera, Akhnaten, and after wondering what sort of stage action he could devise for its unusual music, he decided, I thought I'd get my feet wet and do a ballet before I did the opera. Eventually, he and Mr. Glass found that their schedules conflicted and Mr. Robbins had to withdraw from the operatic project. But he went ahead with the ballet." ([2])

Interesting ballet, fine expansion on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The original says more about the piece. Do me 2 favours please: don't use NYCB before the abbreviation is introduced, and mark the sentence with "inevitable" as a quote from the paper. We can't say that as if a fact. (Use single quotation marks for the quotation within the quotation.) I miss a bit the "life in the city" aspect that several sources mention. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:40, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the review. The issues you pointed out are fixed, and I added a sentence regarding the urban life bit. Corachow (talk) 23:35, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
