It was composed in 1988 and premiered on October 6, 1988, by the Toimii Ensemble in Helsinki, Finland. The piece is divided into three movements and has a total duration of approximately 12 minutes. The first movement, marked "Agitato," is characterized by its frenzied and energetic nature. The music is propelled forward by a driving rhythmic pulse, with the various instrumental lines weaving in and out of each other in a complex and intricate web of sound. The overall effect is one of controlled chaos, with the music constantly building in intensity until it reaches a thrilling climax.

The strings take center stage in this movement, with the other instruments providing a subtle and understated accompaniment. The overall effect is one of profound sadness and contemplation. The final movement, marked "Vivace," returns to the frenzied energy of the first. Here, the music is propelled forward by a relentless rhythmic drive, with the various instrumental lines interlocking in a complex and intricate dance.
