"Moments" was modern choreographer Murray Louis' first work for Nureyev, performed with four younger male soloists from the Scottish Ballet Company. It premiered in 1975 in Madrid. Nureyev saw Louis, who was not trained in ballet, as a choreographer "for male dancers in particular. They invent strange movements and enrich [them] to incredible degree."
