The Swan Piano Tutorial EASY

Requested by the pelicans. Don't you-with-requests get upset, I filled my own one request per day quota already. xD

At Tempo, then Slow (1:55)

This is a popular piece by Camille Saint-Saëns, originally for cello and two pianos. Part of "The Carnival of The Animals". This is an easy arrangement for piano, about Level 2.

hey a little mistake you've shifted the entrie piece a key to the left supposed to be played in g i think not sure just sounds of in my ears

@hampsterdanny ummm... shifting an entire piece any number of keys to the left or right is not a mistake. it is called transposing. main reason is to suit various voice ranges.

this is great, its much more similiar to the one I worked out! How do you know what the tune is meant to sound like if you've never heard it before reading it? for instance I worked this out and had to come here and hear what it sounded like properly, even though I was following the time scale and pauses etc. mine still sounded off.

thanks xoxo

@TeachMeThePiano When you get very comfortable with the piece, almost to the point of memorization, the feel for the music should come naturally. Some pianists do not listen to other performances because they do not wish to be influenced, and develop their own interpretation. I'm no pianist and needed all the help I could get. So I always listened to recordings when available.

Is there any way you could do just the background of the Swan? Like if there was a cello playing as well, could you play it without the main tune?

[bbdhrggl]

yes, i used to accompany a violinist for fun and have the score. what tempo(s) do you desire?

[LaniTsuki]

@17iran Good luck. Eat a banana 30 minutes before you play. That's supposed to ease stage fright
