"This is an arrangement for piano duet from the original 2-piano version. I arranged it in 2011 for a friend's concert because they only had one piano. The piano-duet version was premiered on 27th Novemeber 2011 at Esplanade Recital Studio with my sister and me on the piano, together with re:Mix, a local chamber group. "Tortues", "L'Éléphant" and the orchestra parts remain the same as the original. This piano-duet version is useful when only one piano is available."

A long-standing favourite item in the Baron-Rose Duo's repertoire, tried and tested in many concerts. Marimba 1 plays the melody tremolo, marimba 2 plays a 4-mallet arrangement of the piano part. Towards the end marimba 1 sustains a note with unusual technique; rolling with two mallets in one hand striking the bar from above and below alternately while a third mallet plays a counter-melody. Before that the player only needs two mallets and it is possible to pick up the third just before it is needed. Two 4.3 octave marimbas required.

9 марта 1886 года состоялось первое публичное исполнение небольшой пьесы для виолончели и фортепиано, которая называлась «Лебедь». Но до самой смерти Камиль Сен-Санс не разрешал опубликовать или публично исполнять остальные пьесы цикла "Карнавал животных", полагая их слишком легкомысленными для серьёзного композитора (премьера всего цикла состоялась в 1922 году).

Однажды я услышал новое для себя исполнение этой пьесы и удивился тембру виолончели. Каково же было моё удивление, когда уже к завершению музыки я догадался, что это играет саксофон. Найдя видео, я убедился, что это играет Yasuto Tanaka на тенор-саксофоне. Мне тоже так захотелось! Может быть и вам это будет интересно?

Cello is the most perfect instrument to picture the swan..

comments Tyler Burke 02 Dec 2011 06:40

In my choice of pieces to include to my repertoire I am quite picky: usually I tend to avoid those most far-famed. Of course, it is quite difficult to get a considerable exposure while playing works that no one is aware of, so I do not strictly adhere to this rule. Yet still I need to know why a certain piece would be the right choice – I don’t feel right playing something I don’t have an emotional involvement in. With this transcription of The Swan, the choice was quite obvious for me though – sure enough it is the most famous movement of the Carnival of the Animals, but as it was arranged by no one other than Leopold Godowsky, I couldn’t resist. Godowsky’s playing technique was tremendous and his transcriptions have always been giving me a chance to take my own to the new heights. To all the pianists who want to grow as a musician: I can’t recommend Godowsky’s transcriptions enough!
