This is the theme from Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky. This is in the keys of
Am (meas. 1-16) and A (meas. 17-25) and is in alla breve time (2/2) time;
'|'s represent the half note beats and '.'s represent the quarter note
beats between them. Note the extensive use of 16th note triplets and
the 32nd notes in measure 16. All of this makes it an interesting piece
to count. Note that rit. stands for ritardando (a gradual slowing of the
time). This piece has a nice and easy dreamy feel.
Let me know if you find any mistakes.
Theme from Swan Lake, Op 20 Peter Tchaikovsky
