The six-movement composition written in 1959 is Kurtág's opus no. 1. It emerged after the composer's study tour to Paris which brought about his rethinking of the process of composition and the discarding of his earlier written works and meant at the same time the beginning of the composer's creative period which has lasted ever since.

Die 1959 geschriebene sechssätzige Komposition Kurtágs trägt die Opusnummer 1. Sie entstand nach seiner Pariser Studienreise, die ein Neudenken des Kompositionsvorgangs, das Verwerfen der früher komponierten Werke und den Beginn der bis heute dauernden Schaffensperiode des Komponisten bedeutete.
