Review
'Guest and Jeschke have made a needed contribution not only to the ongoing study of Vaslav Nijinsky's worki but also to the study of dance notation. The book is a comprehensive practical record and the included word descriptions provide, for those less versed in notation, a vehicle for studying the ballet in more depth than had been before possible.'.
