It provides the historical background, the chronology of its performances and Nijinsky's production notes and analysis of the choreographic style of the ballet. The book includes a comprehensive explanation of Nijinsky's notation system, with examples from his score. The text is supplemented by photographs of the 1912 production, and the music placed adjacent to the dance phrases.
