September 1982 Novello composer leaflet

Oxford Dictionary of Music

Premiere as listed in Tempo, No. 137 (Jun., 1981), pp. 55. The named soloists are both viola players, so it is possible the planned scoring changed during composition.

Ewald: Directory "Musik für Bratsche", CH, 2013 and associated website list a composition date of 1979 which seems to be erroneous.
