To paraphrase the rabbi in Fiddler on the Roof, "There is a ballet of everything." If it does not already exist, it is simply an unfinished thought in the mind of some choreographer of the future.dulcinea wrote:... the DON QUIXOTE of Strauss?
There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.

Apparently, Strauss and Krauss agreed that:
music is too symphonic with little possibility for dance interpretation.die Musik kleine Moglichkeit fur eine tanzerische Ausdeutung gibt und sie doch viel zu symphonisch ist.
In the eyes of those lovers of perfection, a work is never finished—a word that for them has no sense—but abandoned....(Paul Valéry)

Strauss and Krauss didn't allow for the possibilities in modern dance. Today, when "Das Lied von der Erde" and the St. Matthew Passion have been choreographed by major ballet companies, nothing is off limits.
