Dance historians explore a number of issues relating to the work of ballet master, dancer, and writer on dance Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810), widely considered the father of modern ballet. They cover Ange Goudar as commentator on Noverre's ballets; the ballet composer Florian Johann Deller (1729-73) and music at the Württemberg court; a turning point for Noverre in Milan; Mozart, Le Picq, and the Serraglio (Milan, 1772): Noverre's tragic reworking of a comic ballet; outrageous dancing and respectable Noverre; the end of Noverrian ballet in Vienna and the beginnings of the Wienerischer Musenalmanach; regular meetings between Noverre and Gallini in London 1756-95; and Noverre applying for jobs.
