Summary:
"Sokolow's Ballade catches her in one of her most poetic and lyrical moods. Doris Gering, a dance critic for Dance Magazine, captured the mood of the piece when she wrote at its premier "... fleet piece d'occasion woven of the restlessness and inconclusiveness of young love...". In Ballade Sokolow has her dancers play the old game of youth and its discoveries. Constantly referred to as mistress of doom and gloom, Sokolow expressed delight at the choice of Ballade for this series for it shows another side of her work often overshadowed by the power of her masterpieces such as Dreams, Steps of Silence, Lyric Suite, and Deserts." -- from book description
