Originally scored for solo cello accompanied by two pianos, it has been arranged and transcribed for many instruments but remains best known as a cello solo.
The piece is in 6/4 time, with a key signature of G major and a tempo marking andantino grazioso. The slow cello melody is accompanied by almost constant broken chord figurations on the pianos. When performed as a separate movement, not in the context of The Carnival, The Swan is frequently played with accompaniment on only one piano. Because of its slow tempo and mostly legato performance indications, the movement is suitable for performance on the theremin.
In dance, The Swan is often known as The Dying Swan, after a poem by Tennyson. Inspired by swans that she had seen in public parks, Anna Pavlova worked with choreographer Michel Fokine, who had read the poem, to create the famous 1905 solo ballet dance which is now closely associated with this music. According to tradition, the swan in Pavlova's dance is badly injured and dying. However, Maya Plisetskaya re-interpreted the swan simply as elderly and stubbornly resisting the effects of aging; much like herself (she performed The Swan at a gala on her 70th birthday). Eventually the piece came to be considered one of Pavlova's trademarks

-Jaa nii. Mulla ei ookkaa ku tämmönen iso seteli
-Ja tuhanteen.
Mä annoin sulle tonnin setelin?
Eiks se ollu tonnin seteli?
Tonni?

End of the piece, piano starts play from high notes descending
Hah, isn’t that beautiful? The raindrops pitter and patter on the surface of the pond, scattering ripples, big and small, across the entire pond. Wind chimes jingled in the background, composing their own tranquil melodies, and filing the cold air with its warm tunes.
Isn’t that beautiful?
They swim slowly away from you, but you don’t chase. Each paddle of their foot leaves more ripples that get weaker and weaker as they swim away
Isn’t that beautiful?
As they slowly fade away, you stay right where they left you. Not grieving, not desperate, but an infinite sense of calm. Not sour, not salty, but a feeling of bittersweet emptiness that echoed through your mind and soul like the chimes in the rain.
Isn’t that beautiful?
You chuckle and exhale a cloud of white into the cold air.
“I guess this is goodbye.”
