First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.August, subtitled The Harvest, is a brisk, animated movement from Tchaikovsky's The Seasons. Its 6/8 pulse is filled with short slurred figures, detached chords, and little gaps that keep the music springing forward. The opening exchanges paired upper notes with a lightly moving lower line. Repeated phrases grow through rising sequences and fuller chords, then break into sweeping runs and strong closing gestures. A broad central section brings longer melody notes over sustained harmony, with the tune passing between the upper and lower voices. The texture gradually becomes quieter and more spacious before the quick opening material returns. Its renewed energy leads through another series of runs and climbing chords to a firm, resonant ending. The central section keeps the same 6/8 meter as the lively outer music; its calmer character comes from longer note values and sustained harmonies rather than a change of meter.
