This paper describes the early vocabulary of Balanchine, which was examined by reading text and listening to oral accounts of Alexandra Danilova, a soloist in the piece. The information gathered was utilized to reconstruct Funeral March. With the realization of this piece, there is now a much better understanding of Balanchine as a young choreographer and of ballet history in general.Balanchine, GeorgeBalletReconstructionDanilovaFuneral marchThesis
