Somewhere there is always evil
in a fairytale’s storyline.
but when darkworld is arising,
it is light we all must find.

On the top of her performance,
you always hear the people breath.
And sometimes in their own emotions,
they will also drop a tear.

When you hear this part of music,
once composed, today all known.
Odette that dances Tsjaïkovski’s story,
as swan will die, for love that’s shown.

What a pleasure for the eye and for the ear!!! Love this ballet too!!!!!!!!!!!!

Artist Reply: You only can love this work, which is for dancing from the first ballerina the most difficult part of it all. I have been looking into the internet which part I should put to it, but non had the connection of act one and two. There I also found a movie of Maya Plisetskaya, age 61, dances Dying Swan. Please take a look how gentle she works her body as swan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Luz5g-doa34

Very Visually captivating and Delightful. Your shadows dance on through a darkworld is arising, it is light to play this part in music

Artist Reply: I wanted the combination of Swanlake, dance of the black swan and the second part of the harp, to connect them both John. It is nice to see that people like it.
