Published by R1音楽ä¼ç”»å®¤ (A0.1320905). String ensemble arrangement of Tchaikovsky’s  October (Autumn Song)  from The piano collection The Seasons  Op. 37a. Score, Set of Parts. 11 pages.October (Autumn Song) depicts an autumn scene from the piano collection The Four Seasons, Op. 37a. The Four Seasons (originally titled Les Saisons) is known as a collection of 12 piano pieces, one for each month, depicting the customs of the Russian year. To me, as the arranger, it seems to strongly reflect scenes from the composer's own homeland, Ukraine.Tchaikovsky's Ukrainian roots are not surprising. Tchaikovsky's surname was changed from Chaika (Чайка: a traditional Ukrainian surname meaning seagull) by his grandfather, and his family originated from the Chaika family of Ukrainian Cossacks who had a territory in what is now Poltava Oblast.
