The seasons Opus 37bis

In addition to his famous piano concerto, Tchaikovsky's many works for solo piano also make an important contribution to romantic piano music. Among them, "Les Saisons" op. 37 are pleasant pieces to play which give off a slightly outdated bourgeois atmosphere allowing them to be classified in the category of “domestic music”. Over the course of the twelve months of the year, the pianist recreates twelve intimate atmospheric paintings of which the Russian character is particularly noticeable in No. 11, "On the Troika", which combines the charming ringing of bells with the gaiety of songs sled passengers sliding on snow in November. Our edition is based on the autograph manuscript and the first Russian edition. It also contains the excellent fingering offered by Klaus Schilde.
