1 videocassette (VHS, NTSC) (72 min.) : sd., col.; 1/2 in.
Summary
Jerome Robbins, assisted by ballet master Christine Redpath, directs a rehearsal of excerpts from Goldberg Variations. The first section of the ballet is rehearsed by soloists only, omitting variations in which the corps dance. Some variations are rehearsed out of order, and some variations are repeated by alternate casts. Robbins gives corrections, discusses and demonstrates choreography. At the end of the tape he talks to the dancers about the importance of relationships in the choreography.
