Hello. Urgently need ideas for 2 mins (or so) classical music piece that encapsulates the movement/mood of "flying"!

Can anyone think of anything please? It's for nearly 10 yr old dd, not en pointe yet. In front of audience (300 poss) so needs to have a bit of 'umph' to it.

Only have this afternoon and Thurs/Fri eve and Sat morning to practice!!

Any suggestions gratefully received. Must be able to download on to MP3 player.

A great suggestion - thank you Binary but needs to be a little less challenging in terms of rhythm and a bit more recognisably "classical piano ballet rehearsal/audition music" ifyswim

Yes thought it might be a little bit fast for a ballet peice. Is there any thing from swan lake you could use!

Thank you everyone

Crisis over

Have gone for the following



Flying doesn't immed spring to mind I know, but with a bit of imagination, a following wind, fairy wings and a smoke machine, should be OK ....I hope

Best can do in available time anyway!!
