This is an unusual book. In it, Maya Plisetskaya is both the heroine and the author. This role was well known to her from the stage: fulfilling the task of a choreographer, she constantly improvised and came up with her own. Each of her dances looked so bright that it was immediately remembered by the viewer. The “alphabet” of thoughts, feelings, impressions, and experiences that she shared in the last years of her life with the writer and musician Semyon Gurariy became no less vivid. This story was not included in her previously published books and numerous interviews; it fascinates with its aphorism and frankness, introducing Maya Plisetskaya, unknown to us. Rodion Shchedrin also supports the conversation, reflecting on creativity, art, inspiration, and the secrets of great music.
