Reproduced with permission from Professor Nancy Ries of Colgate University for the Richard Sykvester estate This presentation is in memory of Professor Richard D. Sylvester, who passed away on November 24, 2020 at age 87, almost exactly one year ago. We have precious memories of him for among many other, love of music and dedication to culture. The idea to present the beautiful song was also inspired by the images of Autumn in my town, and the melancholy which they inspire. Some of these pictures are included in the video. In Richard D. Sylvester’s reference book “Tchaikovsky’s Complete Songs“,
