I studied oboe playing at the Academy of Sibelius and when it was time to do final exam I desiced to compose a piece for me, so that the program of the exam would look more personal. A task was suprisingly difficult. I couldn't decide when the piece was ready. The first performance was almost humiliating.
First version of the piece was handwritten and without time signatures. Later I rewrote the score and this version is available Uusinta publishing company.
