One of several reasons why Harald Lander´s Etudes (1948/52) is held in such high regard and still retains its popularity with Danish audiences is that it was only the second Danish tutu-ballet ever to enter the repertory of the Royal Danish Ballet, preceded singularly by another Lander ballet, Festpolonaise (1943).
Harald Lander was taken by the idea and together they worked out the scenario of juxtaposing the training exercises of pianists and dancers.
Lander, who had studied with Fokine and Cecchetti, introduced elements from the Russian and Italian schools into the curriculum of the otherwise Bournonville-oriented training system; with Etudes :Lander was making a statement.

 Ballet-Dance Magazine - Peter Schaufuss Ballet - Harald - May 29, 2005
In a mixture of dance and word, "Harald" endeavors to tell the story of Harald Landers from his experiences as a young ballet student through his turbulent years at the Royal Danish Ballet, as well as paying tribute to his choreographic genius.
I found the heavy dependence on the excerpts to explain and connect the balletic sections somewhat unfortunate as the ballet seemed to lose some of its cohesion and meaning when one could not understand the Danish (the ballet is clearly aimed at Danish audience and a translation was provided).
The vignettes illustrating Landers' relationship with his two wives, Margot (Caroline Petter) and Toni (Talia Evtushenko) Lander, and the female corps of the Royal Danish Ballet were the weakest in the a ballet.

The more than 50 ballets he created included many parts intended to show off his own brilliant dancing, and these later became vehicles to establish and display the excellence of Danish male dancing in general.
After his death the Danish Ballet declined until 1932, when Harald Lander returned from studying dance in the Soviet Union and the United States to become the company's ballet master (1932-51).
Lander choreographed and adapted many ballets for the company and promoted its tours abroad; since the 1960s it has toured widely.

Harald Lander's 'Etudes' to Knudåge Riisager's music based on Czerny's studies is the great Zoth - century Danish work for ballet.
However, it was Harald Lander who led the ballet to a new series of triumphs in which the life blood was the play of contrasts between the demands of a modern repertoire and loyalty to the Bournonville tradition, which Harald Lander cultivated together with Valborg Borchsenius.
Lander, who was artistic director 1932-1951, was also a choreographer, and with a repertoire built around the prima ballerina Margot Lander, he achieved unparalleled popularity for the ballet.

Guest appearances by Mikhail Fokin (1880-1941) in 1925 and George Balanchine (1904-1983) in 1930-1931 provided great inspiration, but it was Harald Lander (1905-1971) who gave new life to the ballet, whose backbone was the interplay of contrasts between a modern repertory and loyalty to the Bournonville tradition.
During the Lander era, ballets by Nini Theilade (b.1915), Niels Bjørn Larsen (1913-2003) and Børge Ralov (1908-1981) attracted critical acclaim.
Harald Lander trained a strong group of young dancers, several of whom made their mark internationally: Erik Bruhn (1928-1986), Toni Lander Marks (1931-1985), Kirsten Simone (b.1934), Henning Kronstam (1934-1995) and Flemming Flindt (b.1936).

Harald Lander's Etudes dance for ballet class shows off stars of Paris Opera Ballet
It began brilliantly with Harald Lander's Etudes, a theatrical staging of a ballet class to music by Czerny, a work which has become a showpiece for companies around the world.
Few ballets contain such an elegant demonstration of classical technique, and since the French company possesses a female corps de ballet comprising some of the most gifted and impeccably trained young dancers in the world today, many movements were danced almost to perfection.

Lew Christensen's ``Con Amore'' and Harald Lander's ``Etudes'' completed the evening's fine trio of revivals, with stellar performances by Evelyn Cisneros, David Palmer, Julia Adam, Yuan Yuan Tan, Pierre- Francois Vilanoba and a company that keeps moving from strength to strength.
Lander's ``Etudes'' returned with better arm placement but less precise legwork from the corps.
Tuesday's revival did serve, however, as a bright reminder of Tan's growing stage presence, of what a catch Vilanoba is for the company and of the virtues of the ensemble.

 Kennedy Center: Information about Royal Danish Ballet School
In the early 1930s Harald Lander became ballet master and took on the task of bringing the Royal Danish Ballet up-todate, including a reorganisation of the Royal Danish Ballet School.
For instance, the teacher Karl Merrild began using exercises for the children lying on the floor in order to improve leg lifts—a method that was regarded as sheer madness at the time, but which is today recognised as an effective element of the training.
Also in Lander’s period the school began to acknowledge the need for a proper training for the apprentices, the young dancers aged 16–18.

With Simone gone, the last active dancer trained by Harald Lander is no longer in the company.
In 1979 Kirsten Simone got the part which began a new era in her career as the rich widow Fru von Everdingen in the popular Bournonville ballet, "The Kermesse in Bruges." In the last 27 years Simone has been a character mime, giving life to a large array of witches, trolls, nannies and ladies.

During that dark period of history known as the Middle Ages, the name of Lander was first used in France.
While the patronymic and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the name of the father and mother respectively, are the most common form of hereditary surname in France, occupational surnames also emerged during the late Middle Ages.
The surname Lander was an occupational name for a grower of lavender.

Another great period of the Danish Royal Ballet was when Harald Lander came in 1932 and took over the “helm of the corps.” Harald Lander was trained in the United States and the Soviet Union.
Lander trained many well-known international dancers and encouraged local choreographers, who later went on to create major works winning international acclaim.
Each one of these choreographers added their own special talent to the company to make it known as greatly as it is today.

Ballets such as Harald Lander's stylised class, Etudes (1955), a litmus work in revealing the strength of the Company, and David Lichine's effervescent Graduation Ball (1957), a narrative ballet Braunsweg was determined to acquire from the foundation of the Company, have become signature works and are still revived in mixed bills.
Festival Ballet toured Lander's lively 1954 production of Dances from Napoli internationally before it was well-known outside Denmark, including extensively in the USA ahead of the Royal Danish Ballet.
The contribution of Danes as dancers and producers has been considerable and productions of Bournonville's choreography by Lander, Mona Vangsaae, Schaufuss and Dina Bjørn, were treasured.

The tribute ended with Etudes, the Danish dancers being joined by Agnès Letestu, Jean- Guillaume Bart, and José Martinez from the Paris Opéra Ballet, recognising the important role Lander played there, and on the international stage, after leaving Copenhagen.

Those three are back in a twinkling, hitting the stage with verve and style in Balanchine's red-bloodedly American Rubies, set to Stravinsky's Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra -- a glittering showcase for Xiao Nan Yu and for the fire and ice teaming of the explosive Keiichi Hirano and the icily couquetish Heather Ogden.
As flashy as Rubies might be -- and that is pretty flashy indeed -- all its glitter pales in the face of Lander's Etudes, a balletic love letter to tutus and tights set to the music of Carl Czerny.

 BALLET REVIEW; Honoring Two Danes and Having Some Fun - New York Times
The choice of works honored August Bournonville, the greatest Danish choreographer of the 19th century, and Harald Lander, the greatest Danish choreographer of this century.
There are evocations of both the softly flowing style of the early 19th century and of the sharper style that supplanted it.
And Lander has devised eye-catching effects, including a sequence in which, with split-second timing, lines of dancers rapidly crisscross the stage on diagonals without bumping into each other.

It is no accident that in the festival souvenir program, among the 10 photographs of Danish dancers who have left their mark on the international scene, they are all males (including Peter Martins, Ib Andersen, Erik Bruhn, Peter Schaufuss, Nikolaj Hubbe, and Johan Kobborg).
The only Danish ballerina to leave a real impression on the 20th-century ballet world was Toni Lander--and before she achieved it she had to be exiled from Denmark during a scandal involving her husband, the then company director Harald Lander.
Yet if the company never really changes--it does, naturally, have its ups and downs--the fortunate thing is that it never actually needs to change.

For two-thirds of Mark Morris's Canonic 3/4 Studies, nine dancers traced pseudo-balletic visual patterns over a selection of piano pieces just slightly less banal than the average dance-class muzak.
Then suddenly I recognized the Carl Czerny theme that accompanies the finale of Harald Lander's 1948 Études, a flamboyant and tightly structured exposition of classical ballet technique.
While I pictured ballerinas flying across the stage, Morris's dancers were plunging into ponderous pliés and stressful two-footed jumps.

But the show also gives stage room to modern Denmark, including a little-known pas de deux by Harald Lander, Flemming Flindt’s The Lesson (a ballet Kobborg has particularly longed to dance) and a new work by Kim Brandstrup.
