What type of movements are used in ballet?

Ballet involves a graceful, up-right, movement to it. Graceful meaning, you have to have a nice flow to your music. Up-right meaning, you have to be sure to keep your arms in a steady postition the whole time. Plus, your back has to be straight and strong while jumping and turning so you have less of a chance to loose your ballance. Some ballet numbers are more lively and energetic than others, so the graceful movement might be less noticable in fast, ballet music.


Was Beethoven one of the first composers to write music specifically for the ballet?

No, Beethoven was not one of the first composers to write music specifically for ballet. While he did compose some works that were used in ballet, such as "The Creatures of Prometheus," earlier composers like Jean-Baptiste Lully and Christoph Willibald Gluck were more prominent in the development of ballet music. Ballet as an art form began to take shape in the 17th century, well before Beethoven's time in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
