N2  - "Balanchine produced masterpiece after masterpiece, micelle after miracle, not only summing up the entire art form but advancing it into unknown territory - a supreme conservator combined with a radical innovator; Bach and Beethoven rolled into one.
He was a leader, a model - both a supreme artist and a brilliant executive. To his dancers he was everything. To other choreographers he was a figure of awe. As Twyla Tharp has put it, 'Balanchine' is God'." -- Robert Gottlieb (Book jacket)
