Music by Riccardo Drigo. Although this is the arrangement used by most theatres when performing Don Quixote, this is not Riccardo Drigo's original orchestration. Perhaps it is an arrangement by Andrei Arends, who was music director and kapellmeister of ballet performances at the Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow at the turn-of-the-20th century. This variation was originally composed by Drigo for the ballerina Elena Cornalba's performance in the choreographer Marius Petipa and composer Mikhail Ivanov's 1888 grand ballet La Vestale, perhaps for a scene in the ballet that took place in the realm of the goddess Venus (hence the variation's title "L'amour"). This variation 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 by the publisher Zimmerman circa 1914 (1. "L'amour", 2. L'Echo, and 3. Valse Mignonne). Today Drigo's "L'amour" variation is almost always incorrectly 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).
