The American Shakespeare Festival Theatre at Stratford, Connecticut, put on what it described as the first of a series of annual music festivals, this one devoted to the musician Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In the first, Mozart's own elaboration of his musical theme in the series of variations elicits from Balanchine a succession of richly diverse, fascinatingly complex and marvelously beautiful solos, for the long aria in the second Balanchine produces one of his great supported adagios. "A Musical Joke," characterized as a "ballet-burlesque," is another such essay, but with special features related to the special character of the music.
