Organization and Indexes
As I explained in my introduction to this library I organize my ballet class repertory in three broad categories: “Adagio,” “3/4” and “2/4.” These categories are subdivided into “Short,” “Long” and “Extended.”
The Playlist of this album orders my miscellaneous arrangements by composer and catalog number, but I provide an Index By Type that orders the arrangements by “Adagio,” “3/4” and “2/4,” with a note on their length and possible use in ballet class.
