Product Description
Le Cygne, or The Swan, is the penultimate movement
of Camille Saint-Saens 1886 suite, Carnival
of the Animals. Most often played as a solo piece for cello with piano,
the original version was scored for solo instrument and two pianos. It was the only movement for the Carnival
that the composer allowed to be heard in public during his lifetime. This
version is arranged as a duet for one Flute and one Clarinet.
Musicians at an advanced intermediate level and
above will find this ideal for formal and informal performances. The melody is
expressive and legato; the accompaniment is challenging in its constant
semiquaver arpeggios. The overall performance time is around three minutes.
Teachers
will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help with expressive playing.
The legato in both parts demand precise fingers.
