Composed by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Arranged by David McKeown. Children,Instructional,Romantic Period,Standards. Score and part. 9 pages. David McKeown #4737753. Published by David McKeown (A0.587683).Swan Lake, is the first ballet of three composed by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Here, the famous main theme is arranged for Solo Clarinet in A and Piano, directly from the orchestral score. The first performance of the ballet in Moscow in 1877 was not well received. The production was fraught with disagreements between choreographer and composer; the Russian audience were suspicious of the story’s Germanic origins and the music was regarded as too complex for ballet. Tchaikovsky did not live to see a triumphant revival production in 1895 that confirmed Swan Lake as one of the greatest ballet scores of all.
Included in the single download are six pages of piano score and a separate two-page part for the solo instrument. Please note again that this arrangement is for Clarinet in A. if you prefer the arrangement for standard Clarinet in Bb, that can be found at https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/swan-lake-theme-for-solo-clarinet-and-piano-digital-sheet-music...
Musicians at an intermediate level and above will find this ideal for formal and informal performances. The melody is expressive and legato; the accompaniment is challenging in parts, with tremolos and rich chords. Both parts require dramatic dynamic contrasts and the solo part explores a wide range of the instrument. The overall performance time is around two and a half minutes.
