“Ideal Petipa” and “Imperfect Fokine” in Volynsky’s ballet criticism of the 1913s
Abstract
The article deals with the problems of the critical works of Akim Volynsky, written in 1913. The opposition of the ballets created by Marius Petipa and the Mikhail Fokine’s productions clearly sounded in Volynsky’s works. Volynsky repeatedly raised the question of the destructive influence of Fokine’s new plastics on the old school of classical dance in the art of ballet dancers of that period. Volynsky’s criticism accompanied all of Fokine’s 1913 premieres. At the same time, Volynsky predicted eternal life and glory for the ballet asterpieces of Marius Petipa, in which he saw a demonstration of great spirituality and purity. The article contains quotations from the reviews of Volynsky, unknown to the general public, published in the newspaper “Birzhevye Vedomosti”.
