This is "The Swan" by Saint-Saëns - the 13th piece from The Carnival of the Animals.
Many people were inspired to take up the cello because of this piece. It’s one of those legendary works that make you want to play the instrument. However, despite its seemingly simple nature, it’s surprisingly challenging. When I first tried it, I really struggled with the B-natural in the opening phrase on the A string (G–F–B). It took me quite a while to get it right.
Of course, when sequencing it in a DAW, I don’t have to worry about such technical difficulties. However, because the melody is so deeply ingrained in my mind, crafting the right tone becomes rather tricky. I found this piece to be an excellent test for bringing out the full potential of the SWAM library.
