September, subtitled The Hunt, brings a bold, outdoor character to Tchaikovsky's The Seasons. Repeated octave calls and sharply dotted rhythms launch the music with a fanfare-like energy.

The opening calls expand into chordal phrases, with repeated notes and answering figures moving between the registers. Rising sequences thicken the texture and lead to a fortissimo statement. A quieter middle section replaces the broad chords with a more nimble melody and detached accompanying chords; short figures trade places as the harmony shifts. Repeated upper notes and a growing crescendo rebuild the opening energy. The main material returns in full, ending with compact chordal gestures and a sustained final chord.

The opening call sounds alone in the upper part for two measures before the bass enters, making the later full texture especially striking.
