Nette, a great summary of swan lake. I had to refresh myself on the plot. An interesting love story told in this way. What made you think of this? Just curious. Smiles!!

The 'Fall of (and from) Grace' so eloquently depicted here, Nette. Thank you for sharing, Gershon

Dear Nette,what a beautifully haunting piece — the imagery of the swan dancer pirouetting into darkness is so moving. The structure echoes the fall of the dance, and the elegance carries such emotional weight. All the best in the contest...Hugs
