Tchaikovsky’s November was one of a set of twelve pieces entitled The Seasons (1875-76) Op. 37b commissioned by the magazine Nouvelliste. The moods corresponded with the titles of the compositions and the magazine’s monthly images. November’s “Troika”, has jingling sleigh-bells and whirling notes intended to create an impression of falling snow.
