Camille Saint-Saëns

Der Schwan

The Swan is undoubtedly the most famous and deeply touching piece from Camille Saint-Saëns' timeless suite "The Carnival of the Animals". In this elegant sheet music edition from Eres Edition, the unforgettable, yearning melody unfolds its very special magic: the warm, expressive timbre of the viola harmonizes perfectly with the gently flowing arpeggios of the piano.

This arrangement for viola and piano invites both performers and audiences to dream. It is ideally suited as an atmospheric performance piece for concerts, festive occasions, or competitions, as well as for enriching hours of music-making at home. "The Swan" offers violists the ideal opportunity to showcase a mature tonal quality, cantabile phrasing, and profound musical sensitivity. An essential masterpiece for every repertoire!
