Swan Lake Suite

for Contrabass Tuba and Piano

Swan Lake is a ballet composed by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 187576. Despite its initial failure, it is now one of the most popular ballets of all time. The scenario, initially in two acts, was fashioned from Russian and German folk tales and told the story of Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer's curse. This arrangement is in seven movements, with selections across all acts.
