Do me 2 favours please: don't use NYCB before the abbreviation is introduced, and mark the sentence with "inevitable" as a quote from the paper. We can't say that as if a fact. (Use single quotation marks for the quotation within the quotation.)

Glass Pieces

  • ... that in preparation for the ballet Glass Pieces, choreographer Jerome Robbins marked down the structure of Philip Glass' music on graph paper? Source: "Mr. Robbins proceeded to study Mr. Glass's scores by making charts of their structure on graph paper" ([1])
    • ALT1:... that choreographer and director Jerome Robbins first planned to create the ballet Glass Pieces to help him figure out the stage directions of Philip Glass' opera Akhnaten, but ended up withdrawing from the opera? Source: "Mr. Robbins then explained how he came to do Glass Pieces. He had been asked to direct Mr. Glass's new opera, Akhnaten, and after wondering what sort of stage action he could devise for its unusual music, he decided, I thought I'd get my feet wet and do a ballet before I did the opera. Eventually, he and Mr. Glass found that their schedules conflicted and Mr. Robbins had to withdraw from the operatic project. But he went ahead with the ballet." ([2])
