About "Le carnaval des animaux: 13. Le cygne" by Béla Siki
Le cygne floats on a cello’s long, graceful line, piano arpeggios lapping like gentle waves. Saint-Saëns writes pure serenity, yet the melody’s minor turns hint at melancholy. Béla Siki lets the swan glide, beautiful and alone, a portrait of elegance shadowed by solitude.
