Recognizing that "music guides the spectators' responses to the happenings on the stage," Mr. Robbins created a ballet without music because, he said, "I wanted the audience to concentrate on movement" and on "relationships between people -- man and woman, one and another, the individual and the group." (As quoted in Balanchine's Stories of the Great Ballets.)
