I love this music by Walton, and the story behind it. This was a wonderful snippet but, oh so brief! Thanks for finding this and sharing.

I was reading "Quicksilver", the autobiography of Rambert and all of a sudden realized that Ashton's detailed choreography, which often does not travel much and has intricate steps and relies on gestures and facial expressions a lot, was created for very small stages. His style was probably highly influenced by the limitations of the size of the theatres, such as the Mercury, where the audience sat close to the performers and you almost had to dance in one spot.

i agree - his chore would have been influenced by those very small stages. a little relatedly the company found it a challenge moving the big stage at CG after the war

@@JohnRaymondHall indeed. And perhaps we can still see traces of it in the RAD ballet style. It is a little more "contained" (like Bournonville) than for example the Vaganova style.
