My piece is titled 'Zany, Cute, Interesting.' It's inspired by the literary theorist Sianne Ngai, whose book Our Aesthetic Categories explores what she calls 'weak aesthetics' - our ambivalent or antithetical responses to contemporary culture and commodities: playfulness and desperation, tenderness and aggression, stimulation and boredom. This composition stages a violin performance that might support a similar range of reactions, offering an ambivalence around the notion of virtuosity.- Vijay Iyer.

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.
