This was a rather obscure ballet until John Lanchberry brought it to the fore with the Royal Ballet. Ballet companies adore it because it is pretty to the eye, funny and fun to dance.
The famous clog dance sees the Widow Simone encouraged to dance the "clog dance" to the amusement of all - very pantomime.
Originally, I had a "Pileata Magna" stop on the old series which I seem to have omitted from the current Concert Series so I have had to add in a new one recorded separately.
This transcription is relatively simple but retains most of the relevant aspects of the original orchestration.
