Tchaikovsky: The Seasons Op.37a No.9 September (Hunter's Song) - horn quartet

The Seasons, Op. 37 Russian: Времена года; published with the French title Les Saisons), is a set of twelve short character pieces for solo piano by the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Each piece is the characteristic of a different month of the year in the northern hemisphere. Following is a translation of the poetic epigraph contained in the Russian edition (all chosen by the publisher Nikolay Bernard) for September:

"It is time! The horns are sounding! The hunters in their hunting dress are mounted on their horses; in early dawn the borzois are jumping."

Parts of this piece are reminiscent of the horn call in the 1812 overture. Fun for each player.
