It was\u003cbr\u003e accepted as a system of notation in both the Mariinsky\u003cbr\u003e and Bolshoi ballet schools and much repertory was\u003cbr\u003e notated in it.\u003cbr\u003e The dancer, choreographer and teacher Alexander\u003cbr\u003e Gorsky was a friend of Stepanov and an advocate of his\u003cbr\u003e system. In 1899 he published two long essays explaining\u003cbr\u003e the system in considerably more detail and with specifi c\u003cbr\u003e relevance to the notation of classical ballet, for use as\u003cbr\u003e textbooks by the students in the Mariinsky and Bolshoi\u003cbr\u003e schools. It is these two essays, translated and edited\u003cbr\u003e by the Russian ballet historian Professor Roland John\u003cbr\u003e Wiley which are reproduced here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"David Leonard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50874373701906,"sku":"9781906830878","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_baacb686-38a0-4f34-9127-1b518f967332.jpg?v=1737991280","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/two-essays-on-stepanov-dance-notation-9781906830878","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
