The Swan as a Cello Duo with Bach Prelude from Suite No 1! by Camille Saint-Saens String Duet - Digital Sheet Music

By Johann Sebastian Bach

Saint-Saens "The Swan" together with Bach's Prelude No 1 G major from Suite No 1. Does that work at all? A student asked me to try as the beginnings sounded to her similar. Her ideas were always interesting so I tried. Of course I had to modify the rhythm of Bach's Prelude from 4/4 fitting the Swan's 6/4. So I did, and indeed for several bars it just fitted encouraging me to complete the "Bach" accompaniment using elements of the Prelude to fit the Swan.A surprising and entertaining sound combination!Here on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4N8PNXeMF8

hand written

a little disappointed that this is hand-written which makes for difficult reading. If the preview had shown this I probably wouldn't have bought it
