Tenor clef is really hard😢

Congrats, I`ve stated 1 year ago and still feel uncorfortable with tener clef. Must work on that! Any advice for this masterpiece?

Get some professional advice (e.g. a teacher), go practice, and be patient. It'll take some time before you can get the desired shifting and vibrato. This piece is really deceptively simple...

I've just completed my grade 8 cello exams whilst playing le cygne for my grade 7 cello exam a year ago and I dont know if this is relevant at all but for the most part I cant read the sheet music such that I was sight reading. If I don't have my eyes on the piece I forget it but for the most part if you asked me to play a note just from reading sheet music after 4th position i'd have no idea... Le Cygne i'd say is fairly slow and i'd say was probably the song that I played the best for my grade 7 cello exam but the simpleness of the piece allows you to display more difficult techiques. Edit: Also for the most part Le Cygne was the only piece that had parts in Tenor Clef, which to be honest I just remembered where the fingering was on the fingerboard.
