The Seasons

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Vladimir Ashkenazy

The Seasons is a set of twelve character pieces for solo piano by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed and published in 1876. The pieces exemplify Romantic-era lyricism and salon-style miniatures, employing varied pianistic textures and harmonic colour to evoke seasonal moods, and the cycle sits within Tchaikovsky's middle-period output as a compact complement to his larger orchestral and stage works.
