Hello Cellists,
The Swan by Camille Saint-Saëns is one of the most familiar compositions in our repertoire and it is known and loved by musicians and non-musicians alike. Whether performed as part of the entire Carnival of the Animals suite or alone as an encore, it is a lyrical, beautiful escape. It’s also a great piece to practice vibrato, sound, slow shifting and smooth position changes.
Below is a link to the manuscript. You will have to scroll down, the Swan (Cygne) is on page 85.

Please let me know if you have any comments and/or questions, I would love to hear from you. Thank you for watching!!

I could learn a lot from that video. The piece is very difficult, but I will work hard. Thank you for explaining so politely and thoroughly.

I’ve loved listening to the Cello ever since watching Charlotte Harris, Lawrence Welk’s sole female Musician, playing it on his show. I have listened to “The Swan” by Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns played many times, but your excellent teaching video has given me new appreciation for the skill required to play it well. Thank-you!

@roriccunningham348 7 лет назад

I was exited to see this one. NH allstate auditions are coming up in a month and this is the piece for it. Thank you so much for this video. It clears up many musically tricky passages. Again, your playing is beautiful!

@pecator70 4 года назад

May I thank you from the bottom of my heart: you are a top notch teacher! And you can translate and display your comments with your beautiful playing! I think you really have a rare gift! Bless you! 🙏

You might just end up renting a cello and becoming a cellist. 😉😉

@RobManser77 7 месяцев назад

Thank you. What are your (or anyone else’s) thoughts on slurring the quavers (eighth notes) in bar 4 - the octave run from F#? Some people seem to, but others don’t.

@hellomyfriends9740 Год назад

Are you moving the bow position away from the bridge when you lower the vibrato?

@user-hb7jk5zj6g 3 года назад

I found this instruction very doable and like the various options shown instead of just “do it this way”

I so appreciate your very matter-of-fact and physical instructions. Being autistic, I find teachers using metaphors and visual imagery to convey the desired sound frustrating so this video is perfect for me :D

@justinpeel3245 4 года назад

Words to The Swan / I Wonder... I don't know why life's been hard, on me. Was, it some-thing that I said or I done? I don't know what put me on, this path. I, won-der why there nev-er was an-y love? Why was ter-ror al-ways on, my face? Why could-n't I just play in, the sun. Why was my fa-, ther al-ways, mad. Why did he take, it out on, me? Why did'-nt neigh-bors ev-er, step in? When, they could hear all the cries and the screams. Why are these ques-tions still a part of me? I won-der... And pon-der if... I'll, ev-er, know.

@kareningram1528 5 лет назад

I've always loved that song. I'm 59 years old an just started learning how to play the cello. I played the violin for 20 years an probably haven't played it for at least 15 years or so. I've been taking lessons for about six months now. When do you suggest to start learning to play the Swan or would you suggest another piece?

@Inbalsegevcello 5 лет назад

Hi Kittylish 18, the swan is not a beginner piece even though you played the violin before, since we use the higher positions for it(4th, 5th). Once you learned these higher positions you can work on the swan. I recommend the first suite prelude, Menuetts and the third suite Bourees if you are still not there. Your teacher should be able to gage where you are though. Thanks for watching.Inbal

@snootzie78 4 года назад

I noticed that you use you third finger a lot in some of the lower register fingerings. Could it be that the vibrato is warmer or consistent compared to other fingers?

@vuke500 4 года назад

By each step you taught on this video, I followed to learn each skill by getting my cello at the same time, so many techniques of cello that you taught, such as vibrato, bowing, expressions.... for this melodious piece of Swan. I get a lot from you. Many thanks for your teaching and sharing.

@Inbalsegevcello 4 года назад

Thank you so much for your kind words, you made my day😘

@nicholasborelli275 7 лет назад

Beautifully done and explained. A question: When I play this piece and employ vibrato (admittedly intense but not more intense than your own) my entire cello oscillates. I watched the body of your cello as you play and it's virtually stationary. I can't seem to isolate the vibrating finger on my left hand or it's too tense. It happens all of the time and has become a problem for me. Do you have a recommendation to cure it? Thank you.

@nicholasborelli275 7 лет назад

Thanks so much for your kind reply.
