One of this man's ballets sets Weber's Invitation to the Dance to a story in which a woman dreams ofmeeting the spirit of the title flower. This choreographer left the Ballets Russes after Diaghilev lost interestin helping set Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe to dance. This man also created a ballet for which AlexanderGlazunov orchestrated music by Chopin. He discouraged the use of "read-made steps" and using the entirebody to make gestures as part of his "five principles." Along with choreographing Petrushka and TheFirebird, he also created a ballet to a Saint-Saens piece he happened to be playing on the mandolin at thetime. For 10 points, name this Russian choreographer of Le Spectre de la Rose and Les Sylphides, whochoreographed The Dying Swan for Anna Pavlova.
