Khachaturian was devoted to ballet music and produced two masterpieces of the genre. Distinguished by indelible thematic beauty of which the 'Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia' is a perfect example, the ballets are symphonic in conception and, in the case of Gayaneh, marked by the use of leitmotifs. The Masquerade Suite is a richly contrasted theatre score.
