The Swan

This is one of the more recent solos I've been working on. Although the song was meant to be performed with an accompaniment (thus the seemingly abrupt rests), I was unable to record with a pianist for various reasons. I enjoy the tone within this piece. The pace and feeling that accompanies this song always strikes a chord in me when I hear it making it very enjoyable to perform.
