Tchaikovsky's wonderfully melodic The Seasons contains 12 pieces, one for each month of the year.
The following epigraph by Russian poet Apollon Maykov accompanies “April”:
The blue, pure snowdrop — flower,
and near it the last snowdrops.
The last tears over past griefs,
and first dreams of another happiness.
