Tchaikovsky - The Seasons - October ("Autumn Song")

Today's Classical Corner... October!
October is a season in The
Seasons, one of a set of 12 pieces for solo piano, by Russian composer
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Each piece is the characteristic of a
different month of the year in the northern hemisphere. The work is also
sometimes heard in orchestral arrangements.
Individual excerpts
have always been popular – Troika (November) was a favorite encore of
Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Barcarolle (June) was enormously popular and
appeared in numerous arrangements (for orchestra, violin, cello,
clarinet, harmonium, guitar and even mandolin).
