Enescu composed this work for chamber winds in 1906 for a Paris ensemble known as the Société moderne d'instruments à vent, who gave its premiere on June 12 of that year. The work was published a year later but has only recently made its way into the chamber wind repertoire. The new edition offered here was perpared by Clark McAlister and first published in 2007 by the now-defunct publisher E.F. Kalmus.This new study score, in a handy size, is a reduced format reissue of the 2007 large score, which is now exclusively available along with the parts from Serenissima Music.
