This piece was commissioned by the Musica Viva Music Society and its premiere took place on 22 VIII, 2001 during the final concert of the Fifth Lubuska Camerata 2001 International Chamber Music Festival. Since its inception it has enjoyed great popularity and hasfound a place in the repertoire of many violinists, including Kaja Danczowska, Patrycja Piekutowska, Krzysztof Bakowski, Pawel Kuklinski. It comprises three movements played attacca: 1 Lento 2. Allegro 3. Molto lento. The first movement has the nature of a nocturne - Lento - in which the singing, lyrical theme in the violin sound is accompanied by extensive sound planes, forming a slow, static course. In contrast to this, the second part is virtuosic - Allegro in which vibrant movement dominates with sixteenth notes and syncopated rhythms. The shortest of all, the nostalgic third movement, has the character of free improvisation on the violin; in terms of orchestral texture it is a reference to the first part.
