Chaya Czernowin wrote this composition for violin solo as early as 1981, it is thus one of her early works. The world premiere took place in Berlin in 1983, shortly after the Israeli composer had come to Germany from her home country to study on a scholarship. In this early creative period, her tonal language shows the slow introduction of the sound of new music. In 2015, Czernowin also arranged the piece for viola solo and for violoncello solo.
