Who wrote "The Swan"?

Saint-Sa?ns' "Swan", "Swan" is the thirteenth song.

Saint-Sa?ns (1835-1921) was a famous French musician during the Romantic period and a highly skilled organist. "The Swan" is the thirteenth piece in Saint-Sa?ns' orchestral suite "Carnival of the Animals". This work was inspired by a carnival that Saint-Sa?ns watched somewhere in Austria. "Animal Carnival" *** includes fourteen ditties. Most of them are exaggerations and adaptations of existing works by other composers and Saint-Sa?ns himself, showing funny and cute images of animals, and thereby satirizing and mocking certain social phenomena. Saint-Sa?ns himself said that he wrote this work to please his friends and to amuse him. Therefore, while Saint-Sa?ns was still alive, he did not officially publish this work, nor did he perform it publicly. But one of them is an exception, and this is "Swan". This piece of music is not mocking or funny, and is different from the main theme of this work in terms of content and expression method. It seriously expresses Saint-Sa?ns' true emotions towards the swan. The music of "Swan" is so wonderful and beautiful that it has naturally become a masterpiece passed down from generation to generation.

"The Swan" is an elegant and gentle cello piece that is familiar to and moved by. It comes from Saint-Sa?ns' orchestral "Carnival of the Animals". "Carnival of the Animals" consists of fourteen independent short pieces of music.
