One of Degas principal concerns as a draftsman was analyzing the movements and gestures of the female body. On view are several drawings featuring dancers; easily recognizable as the study for the celebrated wax sculpture Little Dancer; Fourteen Years Old; depicting the young dancer Marie van Goethem. In this large sheet; the artist studied her from three different angles; attempting to understand the figure in the round in preparation for sculpting it. Other examples of drawings with dancers include Seated Dancer (ca. 1871); one of the studies for Dance Class at the Opeacute;ra on the Rue le Peletier; as well as Two Studies of Dancers (ca. 1873); Dancer with Arms Outstretched (ca. 1878); and Two Studies of a Ballet Dancer (ca. 1872). Though noted for his attention to the female figure; Degas executed many studies of grouped horses and jockeys from which he would use figures in later compositions. Later in his career; Degas experimented with mixing drawing media and printmaking techniques.

This contains sheet music of songs not in the Broadway show and does not include all the songs from the show.By J Adrian VerkouterenThis book contains sheet music from the pre-Broadway premier of WAITRESS album Ms. Bareilles released. So some of the songs are from the album not the show. and some of the songs from the show and its cast album are not included. Although I would love to have had more of the songs from the show. I was very happy with the songs in the book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. There are about three great songs and the rest like standard pop/dance songsBy ReviewsCountThere are about three great songs and the rest like standard pop/dance songs. but teens enjoy that and I appreciated the three.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. LOVE her musicBy Melissa H.LOVE her music. So fun to have the sheet music to these songs. However. partly because the melody line is included throughout the accompaniment. and partly because a lot of these songs just dont translate well to piano-only. Im giving this 4 stars.
