The work was composed in memory of the Hungarian cimbalom player Ildikó Vékony, who died in an accident in autumn 2009. It is based on an earlier piece for solo cimbalom Slow and Brisk (Sáry László: Dance music, Z. 14263) dedicated to her and played several times and also recorded by her. The first and third parts of the composition are variants of each other. Between these two parts there is a slow, richly ornamented movement with freely moving rhythms, in which the often broken melodies of the viola da gamba (or violoncello) appear as reminiscences.The piece was premiered in Budapest on 4th December 2011 by Nóra Kallai (viola da gamba) and András Szalai (cimbalom).

Given that hardly any printed collections of new keyboard music were offered in Germany in the first decades of the 18th century, Christoph Graupner's eight Partien auf das Clavier , published in 1718, marked a new beginning. The suites are arranged according to an ascending sequence of notes and generally follow the scheme Allemande - Courante - Sarabande - Gigue, but this order is repeatedly broken, also by movements that are rather unusual for a suite. The focus is on the characteristics of the individual movements and the joy of playing with figures typical for the movement or instrument, as well as on challenging playing techniques, such as hand changes in runs (passaggi), wide-ranging chord breaks and the use of the thumb, which was not very common at the time. In this respect, Graupner's suites offer not so much a formal advancement, but rather an expansion of the demands of playing technique. Although several CD recordings of these suites already exist, this volume constitutes the first modern Urtext edition. Complementing her scholarly activities, the editor Genevieve Soly provides important impulses on performance practice in the preface, especially on the execution of the passaggi and the ornamentation, thus opening up the view on her activity as a harpsichordist.
