The Seasons

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Ilona Prunyi

The Seasons is a cycle of twelve short piano pieces by Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, composed and published in 1876. Musically, the set presents month-themed character pieces in the Romantic salon piano tradition, showcasing Tchaikovsky's melodic writing and skill with miniature forms and functioning as a domestic-salon counterpart to his larger orchestral and operatic works.
