Tchaikovsky's cycle of short piano works, The Seasons, was written in response to a commission from a journal La Nouvelliste whose editor wanted a new piano piece for each month of 1876. Edited by Andreas Schenck, this Edition Peters publication is ideal for the practical musician in search of a reliable text. With elegantly laid out notation, the edition also includes practical fingering suggestions, and includes the poetic epigraph at the head of each piece in Russian and German.
