The Concert (or The Perils of Everybody) is a ballet made by Jerome Robbins, subsequently New York City Ballet's balletmaster, to Chopin's :Polonaise in A major "Military",Berceuse in D flat major,Waltz in E minor...Robbins took a more lighthearted view of Chopin's output in The Concert, in which he transforms a piano recital into a collection of comic vignettes. Having deftly sketched the recital's audience, he then pinpointed their private responses to the music and each other. Often called the "Mistake Waltz," one episode spoofs dancing itself as six women reduce a neat pas de six to chaotic confusion; another turns the possibility of rain and a forest of umbrellas into a sly comment on conformity.
