Misc. Notes Music by Riccardo Drigo. Originally composed by Drigo for the ballerina Elena Cornalba in the choreographer Marius Petipa and composer Mikhail Ivanov's 1888 grand ballet La Vestale. It is one of some eleven variations commissioned by Petipa from Drigo to supplement Ivanov's score. Only three of Drigo's supplemental variations for La Vestale were ever published - among them was this variation under the title "L'Amour" by the pubblisher Zimmerman, circa 1914 (the other two variations were published as L'Echo and Valse Mignonne). Today Drigo's variation is almost always erroneously credited to Minkus. It is commonly known as "Variation of Kitri as Dulcinea" and is featured in the scene of Don Quixote's dream (Act II, Sc.4 of the three-act version).
