“Stenochoreographies”: a few words on the French school of ballet during the “decadent” period”

by Pierre Darde

We will analyze what is meant by “the French school of ballet” through notation systems adapted to this technique, such as the stenochoreographies by Arthur Saint-Léon (1821-1870), or Antonine Meunier (1877-1972), which will both be compared to the system devised by Vladimir Stepanov (1866-1896).
