The Seasons

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Mily Alexeyevich Balakirev & Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky & Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka & César Antonovich Cui & Dmitry Masleev

The Seasons is a set of twelve short character pieces for solo piano by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed and published in 1876. Written in a Romantic idiom, the cycle explores a range of moods and piano textures that evoke seasonal scenes and domestic lyricism, and it sits within Tchaikovsky's mature output as a concise piano collection created alongside his larger orchestral and vocal works.
