The piece was written during the summer composition course in Lugano (Switzerland) as an immediate reaction to my first encounter with the site of the concentration camp in Ravensbrück. The pressure of terrible facts and of the atmosphere during the week culminated in a state of shock, from which the way bach was possible only through special "therapy": work on a new composition.
