Ever wondered how modern music would sound,
had Bach written it for unaccompanied solo cello?

Bach Wrote The Swan
The arranger relayed this origin for the piece you find here: I tried to play The Swan, but it was too hard for me. It’s a never-ending stream of high position notes, played on just the A and D string. So I transposed it down a fifth to accommodate my low skill level. But then no self-respecting pianist would play the traditional piano part with me. So I added some accompaniments of my own, in between notes from the melody, in the style of Bach cello suites. Yeah. I quite like the end result – an unaccompanied Swan.
