Composer Alexis Ffrench says of this piece: 'I am so pleased to meet you. here on your piano journey. The swan in this piece loves to glide on the water and
sing to the moon and the stars as its way of expressing gratitude. I hope you enjoy bringing its story to life.'
Look carefully at the dynamic markings and the shaping of the phrases: the high point of the phrase is sometimes on a diminuendo. Hear how the resonance
of the piano opens up in bar 17, when the hands are further apart, and think what sound you want for the final, major chord.
