The ballet, often described as a "romantic reverie",was indeed the first ballet ever to be simply that. Les Sylphides has no plot, but instead consists of many white-clad sylphs dancing in the moonlight with the poet or young man dressed in white tights and a black top.
The canonic version of the ballet Les Sylphides includes:
1. Polonaise in A major (some companies substitute Prelude in A Major instead)
2. Nocturne in A flat major (Op. 32, no. 2),
3. Valse in G Flat major (Op. 70, no. 1),
4. Mazurka in D major (Op. 33, no. 2),
5. Mazurka in C major (Op. 67, no. 3),
6. Prelude in A major (Op. 28, no. 7),
7. Valse in C sharp minor (Op. 64, no. 2),
8. Grande Valse in E flat major (Op. 18, no. 1)

这是一部没有戏剧情节的芭蕾舞剧,它的魅力不是在于综合了肖邦的名曲,而是在于让这些曲子立体化,想像化,把音乐素描下来,呈现在我们眼前。在这一段节选中我们可以欣喜地‘观赏’到:7.肖邦升c小调圆舞曲;8. 降E大调华丽大圆舞曲,而我则是升c小调圆舞曲的饭。希望你们也和我一样喜欢这部美不胜收的舞剧,周三快乐!
