Hans van Manen’s Adagio Hammerklavier, from 1973, closes the Dutch Masters programme. It is one of the top works from the early period of the three ‘Vans’. Nowadays, the ballet is regarded as one of the classics of twentieth-century dance, and was taken into the repertoire of the leading Russian Mariinsky Ballet in 2014. Van Manen himself describes the work as an ‘ode to deceleration’. Inspired by an adagio from a Beethoven piano sonata, he investigates just how slow a movement can be. Adagio Hammerklavier is part of the progamme Dutch Masters. Read more: http://bit.ly/YTduchtmasters
