【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: The Seasons, Op. 37a for solo piano: 4. April: Snowdrop (B-flat major). This beautiful piece was presented by germanrecords. It is a royalty free music from Pond5.com.

The Seasons, Op. 37 (published under the French title Les Saisons), is a suite of twelve short character pieces for piano by the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Each piece is characteristic of a different month of the year in Russia. The work is sometimes also performed in orchestral and other arrangements by other composers.

Following is a translation of some of the poetic epigraphs contained in the Russian edition (all chosen by the publisher Nikolay Bernard):

Avril (April): Perce-neige (Snowdrop)

The blue, pure snowdrop — flower,
and near it the last snowdrops.
The last tears over past griefs,
and first dreams of another happiness.
(A. Maykov)

The video was shot by Simone Schlegel in Iffigenalp, Switzerland and was edited by Wenjing Ma.
