Within the Quota (Ballet Suite) NFMC 2020-2024 Selection for 2 Pianos, 4 Hands Transcribed by Bolcom and Bennett 芭蕾 組曲 鋼琴

科爾-波特唯一一次 "嚴肅 "的創作嘗試是芭蕾舞劇配樂Within the Quota，當時達柳斯-米爾豪德（Darius Milhaud）建議波特作為他的La Création du Monde的配樂作曲家。這兩首作品於 1923 年 10 月在香榭麗舍劇院首演，受到巴黎媒體的熱烈歡迎。科爾-波特後來認為樂譜已經遺失。1970 年，該樂譜在耶魯大學被發現，威廉-博爾科姆（William Bolcom）和理查-羅德尼-貝內特（Richard Rodney Bennett）據此創作了這個雙鋼琴版本。這部芭蕾舞劇講述了一個移民到紐約的人遇到了一個誘人的女繼承人、一個踢踏舞者、一個豔舞女郎、一個牛仔和一個電影明星美女的故事。演出需要兩份拷貝"

Within The Quota (Ballet Suite)

原文簡介:
Cole Porter's only attempt at a “serious” composition came with the ballet score Within the Quota, when Darius Milhaud suggested Porter as a composer to pair with his La Création du monde. Both pieces were rapturously received by the Parisian press at the October 1923 premiere at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. Cole Porter later believed the score to be lost. In 1970 the score was discovered at Yale, from which William Bolcom and Richard Rodney Bennett created this two-piano version. The ballet is about an immigrant to New York who encounters a seductive heiress, a tap-dancer, a flapper, a cowboy, and a movie star beauty. Two copies needed for performance.
