Classical Music / Music Piece
October 'Autumn Song' in D minor is the 10th excerpt (October being 10th month of the calendar year) of Piotr Tchaikovsky's The Seasons, Op. 37, a set of twelve short character pieces for solo piano. Each piece is the characteristic of a different month of the year in the northern hemisphere.
The 'Autumn Song' is less popular than the other pieces in The Seasons, nevertheless its melancholy and elegiac characteristic is beautiful and poignant, a favourite of Autumn (or Fall) lovers.

Tchaikovsky's The Seasons, Op. 37a (also seen as Op. 37b, published with the French title Les Saisons), is a set of twelve short character pieces for solo piano by the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Each piece is the characteristic of a different month of the year in the northern hemisphere. Individual excerpts have always been popular – Troika (November) was a favourite encore of Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Barcarolle (June) was enormously popular and appeared in numerous arrangements.
