 | | Nino Rota's ballet suite "La Strada" and the "Dances from Il Gattopardo" are frequently paired, being similar works that are related to his film scores, yet not really suites from film scores. |
 | | The suite in which the music from the film "La Strada" most frequently is heard, is actually from this ballet. |
 | | The dances from Il Gattopardo were recycled from other film scores, with the addition of Rota's orchestration of a Verdi waltz for piano, and were not meant to be used as the underscore to the dramatic action of the film, but as the dances heard in a ballroom scene. |
