Tchaikovsky finished his first ballet in 1876, and it opened at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow in 1877. This theme, played by the oboe over trembling strings, is the swans’ theme: it comes back all through the ballet.
You play the theme once through, moved a tone lower, to A minor, to fit the 17 keys.
