It also commissioned Broadway-famed Choreographer Agnes de Mille to do a new number, Harvest According, and got its own ballet master, Edward Caton, to whip up another, Triptych.

This pas de deux is strictly an exhibition piece and the celebrated Igor Youskevitch performed it with amazing skill, as did his partner, Alicia Alonso.
