Tschaikovsky vs. Tchaikovsky

edit

How should the name of the composer of the music for “Serenade” be spelled? Most Westerners now spell it Tchaikovsky, but City Ballet took up, during Balanchine’s lifetime, the spelling Tschaikovsky. Why? Because that’s how the composer spelled it when he was in New York in 1891. (My thanks to the reader who sent me a copy of his Carnegie Hall autograph from the Pierpont Morgan Library.)

Oklahoma City Ballet

edit

The Yvonne Chouteau article names Oklahoma City Civic Ballet as predecessor to Oklahoma City Ballet, the Conrad Ludlow names Ballet Oklahoma; is it one or the other or both, or are these two names for the same organization? — Robert Greer (talk) 20:22, 1 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
