Tchaikovsky is one of the most famous Russian musicians. His music creation strives to express the people's inner world. The piano suite the “Four Seasons”, based on the seasonal changes in Russia throughout the year, reflects Russia's natural scenery, customs, festivals and daily life, and has a strong Russian national style. Starting from Tchaikovsky's historical background, this paper analyzes the nationalist characteristics of the Four Seasons.
