The ballets of Paul Hindemith are not that well-known in his musical compositions. Nevertheless, this book intends to attract more attention to the composer's dance works by providing in-depth information on his ballets from the 1930s, namely Nobilissima Visione (1938) and Der Kinderkreuzzug (1939). By showing the origins, developments, and how these two pieces originally came from the same inception, the results of this research impart a deeper understanding and appreciation of these ballets. In Nobilissima Visione, theartistic collaboration and theatrical interpretations of both Hindemith and choreographer Léonide Massine on the life of St. Francisof Assisi are likewise compared and evaluated. In addition, the close study of the music sketches in Nobilissima Visione reveals howthis ballet was possibly composed. Nobilissima Visione and Der Kinderkreuzzug further share another common feature: both have detailed scenarios by Hindemith containing the composer's indications as to where the actions in the text correspond to his music. Because of this text-tomusic connection, it is possible to explore Hindemith’s ideals and visualization of his dance works. This approach similarly emphasizes the significance of incorporating both musical and dance aspects in these investigations. Including Hindemith's last two ballet scenarios, namely Gefühlvolles Ende einer ruhmreichen Laufbahn (1939) and Das Gleichnis von den Blinden (1940), further provided valuable information on how the ballet scenarios from Hindemith had evolved, starting with his Nobilissima Visione drafts. Altogether, these ballet scenarios consistently demonstrate specific features and artistic inclinations.In particular, the composer's personal goal to instruct the audience appears to be of primary importance.

Maurice Bejart's great admiration for the films of Federico Fellini and their accompanying music prompted the French choreographer to seek the opportunity to collaborate with composer Nino Rota who remained Fellini's musical alter ego throughout his life.The music for Le Moliere imaginaire, a comedie-ballet in two acts in commemoration of the great French dramatist, was created during an extended period in the summer of 1976 when Bejart and Rota had allotted almost a month to be devoted solely to this project.The version of this music for piano originated during the collaborative working phase of the two artists and appears in abbreviated form at the beginning of the ballet when the curtain rises on the first act.
