Extra Information	Original melody from The Swan is transposed down a fifth to C major, for a single cello, with Bach-style self-accompaniment. The first part of the melody was changed from 3/4 to 4/4, to allow the Bach-style self accompaniment to sound like Prelude in G major from Suite 1. Then multi-voice self-accompaniment were added in between notes from the melody line.
