Jerome Robbins' contribution to the New York City Ballet's recent season was "The Concert," described in the program as a charade and actually a series of vaudeville and revue sketches representing the reveries induced in a group of people as they listen to Nicolas Kopeikine playing a number of piano pieces by Chopin. Robbins gave one such sketch in the "Percussion" episode of "Fanfare" and in "The Concert" his comic gift operates with equally amusing effect. In some instances the effect is achieved with dancing, in a few it is not.
