Swan Lake (Act II, No. 10)
By Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky [Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky] / arr. Michael Hopkins
Item: 00-38401
Series: Belwin Beginning String Orchestra
Level: 2.5
This unabridged arrangement remains very true to the original while making this beautiful music playable by string orchestra. The key has been changed from B minor to E minor so all parts remain in first position. This is a great piece for teaching legato and tremolo bowing, expressive phrasing, triplet rhythms, accelerando, and ritardando.

Idk what y’all thinking, I think it sounds gorgeous in E Minor

[@Keoshii_]

RIGHT

[@Sir13727]

Correct but not as good as the original one

[@aboy1983]

I feel like entire orchestras feel straining to my ear these days thanks for making a just strings version :)

Bruh why they change to E minor, aint the B minor easier?

[@Keoshii_]

The site says it's switched to E minor so all instruments can remain in 1st position

[@dawdlinghydra41]

Principal second violin here

It's nice to meet another section leader, hello!

[@steftrando]

What the hell is with the transposition? Why not stick to the original key? It sounds so sad for no reason

[@twilightzone1169]

I kinda agree

[@cai_linxx]

Agree! Idk why it sounds so sad, I thought swan lake is peaceful, not hurtful

[@Keoshii_]

So everyone stays in 1st position (says the site)

[@Sir13727]

I think this song was mostly meant for junior high orchestras since the original one is very hard to master and is usally meant for professional orchestras
