The world premiere took place as part of a concert in Freiburg which was dedicated to Nicolet who had died shortly before ; the interpreter was Emmanuel Pahud, one of his pupils. The versatility of the work shows, for example, in its obbligato instrumentation of bass flute and bossed gong - both instruments require only one additional player.
