What was the song

Cosme McMoon played during his audition in the movie? It's the first time we hear him play piano and Florence says to play whatever he's like. Then she talks about her father. What was that piece of music?

I was wondering the same thing! I've heard the song before, but can't think of the title and can't find anything anywhere....

It's The Swan from Camille Saint-Saens' Carnival of the Animals.

I would also like to know the Chopin piece Cosme and Florence played together in his apartment.
