One Month before R-Day

April 15th will be the recital for chamber music class. Having the "Swan" forced upon me certainly has lit a fire on my practice schedule this week. My teacher wants to hear me play it next Tuesday so I'm trying to at least get the notes and rhythm in place by then. I've also been trying to do vibrato exercises. I hated vibrato exercises when I was doing them on the violin. On the cello they don't sound so bad.

Good luck! You might want to consider playing "The Swan" in the key of D, rather than G. I found a free version in that key on 8notes.com. It looks much easier in this key. The highest note is the harmonic A.

Too late! Already memorized in the Key of G :)
