The Spirit of Winter (and snow!)

[just_me]

Hello. In keeping with this idea of exploring the world with music in mind, I've spent this last week (where those of us on the east coast have had practically a week of stand still) finding music that evokes winter, w/ a special note to piano.

The pieces I keep coming across are:

-Chopin Op. 25 No. 11 Winter Wind etude
-John Cage Early Piano works -- The Seasons II. Winter
-Debussy - Children's Corner Suite - The Snow is Dancing
-Tchaikovsky - A Winter Morning
-Chick Corea - April Snow

DOES ANYONE CARE TO SUGGEST ANY MORE WINTER/SNOW PIECES (NOT LIMITED TO PIANO ONLY?)?

Thank you!

Chasse-Neige (but I'm on the east coast, too, and more disposed to anticipating spring than dwelling on this dreary winter  ).

Debussy-Preludes Bk1 #4 footsteps in the snow
Elgar -part song for female voices 2violins and piano "The Snow"

[orangesodaking]

Liszt Transcendental Etude No. 12 "Chasse-Neige"
Alkan "Le Vent" Op. 15 No. 2
A good piano transcription of "Winter" from Vivaldi's "Four Seasons"?

Sorry I'm not much help.

EDIT: Ha, even worse... someone already recommended the Liszt piece. Shows how awake I am this morning...

Not technically about snow or something, but that's what it always evokes to me.

Cool, another fan of the greatest hits of the last 400 years. 
I liked George Winston's "The Holly and the Ivy" of his Winter album, I transcribed it off the LP and played it for an offeratory one Advent. I went to his concert once.  He plays grand piano on stage in his stocking feet.
