Description: "Danse des petits cygnes" ("Dance of the Little Swans"), for which Tong Leung-tak is credited as the orchestrator, was adapted from the second act of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. It features the dizi and the erhu for the melody while using the guan, the timpani, and several other instruments for the accompaniment. It is in many ways similar to Peng Xiuwen's earlier modern Chinese orchestral version of the same dance; both versions involve a transposition from the original's F# minor to B minor.
