note - this solo has an interesting history. The role of Franz was originally a travesty role (i.e. a female role). When men began to take over the role in Paris, they eventually needed a variation. Since Delibes had died by then, this variation by the composer Ernest Giraud was added to Coppelia, & eventually found it's way to Russia. Otherwise, poor Franz really has no legitimate variation!
bravissimo!
