 The committee required that Stepanov first present demonstrations, known as "certifications", of the effectiveness of his method before the project would be fully implemented with state funding.The first of these demonstrations was the notation of the one-act ballet "La Flûte magique", a work originally produced in 1893 by Lev Ivanov and the composer Riccardo Drigo for the students of the Imperial Ballet School.Stepanov then presented a second demonstration of his method by mounting a reconstruction of Jules Perrot's one-act ballet "Le Rêve du peintre", originally staged in 1848 to the music of Cesare Pugni.
