La Classe des Rois, Music for Ballet Class with Violin

This is the accompaniment of ballet lessons with piano, which is now commonplace, but its history is still about 100 years. Before the piano emerged as a lesson accompaniment instrument, ballet lessons were accompanied by violin. Its history dates back to the early 17th century, when the famous dancer Louis XIV and the opera dancers depicted in the paintings by Edgar Degas all practiced lessons with violin accompaniment. The CD features international violinist Amandine Beyer as a violinist, along with viola da gamba and guitarists, who were often used as supporting instruments at the time, as well as musician and former dancer Olivier Forres. Under supervision, ballet lessons from the 17th century to the early 20th century are reproduced.
It is composed of a wide repertoire so that it can be used even in modern ballet lessons, although it is a song that was used at the time such as Minuet, Paspier, Gavotte. Not only for lessons, but also for appreciation. Why don't you practice with the sound of the finest stringed instruments while feeling the history of ballet?
