Leonard Bernstein.
he used different dynamics and different musical instruments to do with the tension of the scene
If you mean the musical/operetta, he did write music for it, and the overture is one of his most popular concert pieces. If you mean the story or the lyrics, no. The story was written by Voltaire. Lyrics were by Richard Wilbur, with some updating in some versions by Stephen Sondheim.
In the opening scene of "West Side Story," Leonard Bernstein combines jazz dance and ballet by blending their distinct movement styles to convey the tension between the rival gangs. The dancers utilize ballet's fluidity and grace while incorporating jazz's sharp, rhythmic accents, creating a dynamic and expressive choreography. This fusion not only highlights the cultural clash of the characters but also sets the tone for the musical's vibrant energy and emotional depth. Through this innovative combination, Bernstein captures the essence of both genres, establishing a unique theatrical language.
