I can almost understand the love-at-first-performance thing. What has always puzzled me is that he wanted to be married to someone with whom he had no language in common.

Not a concerto, but Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy combines concertante piano and SATB chorus.

In a world where everything is getting faster, there's a prevailing trend of ballet variations being taken slower, invariably at the expense of musical integrity. It seems that dancers want to squeeze in more turns, higher extensions, longer poses… regardless of what the music indicates. [6/5+1]

Miharu Kikuchi's tempo does bring out the coquettishness, and a certain sprightliness, but not so much of the rest. Here's the same variation in a performance fr the Dolin Foundation YouTube channel – presumably it reflects Dolin's intention. Much faster!
Starts 7:28 [5/5+1]

Ivor Guest cont. …a piquant, coquettish variation in which she brought her youthful grace and fascination into fullest play.
Now that's a description of Perrot's orig choreography, not Anton Dolin's 1941 revival, but the spirit still applies. [4/5]

Ivor Guest (1968) quotes descriptions fr 1845:
There followed an andante movement for Carlotta Grisi, performing "tip-toe flights" and "lightning gyrations" of "equal dexterity and number, mingled, however, with a world of little sprightly steps, which multiplied her feet into thousands"… [3/5]

So this is why I was interested in the tempo marking. This competition performance by a 17yo dancer is rather lovely (and it's a refreshing repertoire choice for a competition) but it just seemed much too slow. And indeed it is too slow for a duple-time Andante. [2/5] www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyZ4...
