		Ivanov was a natural musician; he could play, by ear, the entire score of a ballet on the piano.

		Petipa fell ill, and his assistant, Lev Ivanov (1834-1901) was given the task of choreographing "The Flight of Swans," the lakeside scene in which Prince Siegfried first encounters Odette.
		Ivanov, who believed that ballet should be the "blossoming of music," used his interpretation of Tschaikovsky's score to extend the dramatic potential of the academic style.
		Ivanov's two lakeside scenes have a dramatic intensity and magical grace that links them to the ballets blancs of the Romantic era (LA SYLPHIDE, GISELLE, for example), but his corps, rather than being a static backdrop, is an active and animated ensemble that interacts with the soloists.

	Guardian \| Fowl play
		Only the second act uses Petipa and Ivanov's familiar choreography, and the psychology of the work, especially that of its hero and villain, Prince Siegfried and Von Rothbart, is unashamedly literal.
		While Ivanov's dreamily exquisite "white" acts portrayed the poetry of Siegfried's search for ideal love, Petipa's two "court" acts beguiled the public with their exotic costumes and virtuoso dancing, including the famous 32 fouettés performed by the evil Odile as she dazzles Siegfried into betraying Princess Odette.
		Ivanov's image of the dead lovers uniting in a heavenly apotheosis was too downbeat and religious for Soviet orthodoxy, and the substitute conclusion of Siegfried dealing a fatal blow to Von Rothbart neatly turned the Prince from tragic victim to hero in the struggle against oppression.

	ABT94, Swan Lake, Met Opera House, New York, Janice Berman, New York Newsday, April 28, 1994
		Choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov; choreography for Act I’s Peasant Dance and Goblet Dance and Act IV’s storm scene by David Blair.
		Thanks to the coaching of the artistic staff, particularly Irina Kolpakova, the staging of artistic director Kevin McKenzie, and the brisker, brighter-sounding Tchaikovsky score under the baton of Jack Everly, this is as crisp and compelling a Swan Lake as ABT has ever staged.
		The corps of swans is a marvel of gentle unity in Act II, choreographed by Lev Ivanov in 1894, and in the timeless divertissements there is dream-team- work.
