This study score edition has been designed for comfortable and effective reading, whether in a learning context, rehearsal preparation, or in-depth exploration. It is particularly suitable for musicians who wish to follow the construction of the scenes, identify sound layers, observe section balances, and understand the musical dramaturgy specific to ballet.

The whole is presented in a New Edition portrait format, appreciated for analytical work and library consultation.
