This short, atmospheric piece was written for a clarinet quartet, optionally accompanied by a vibraphone. It can be considered a kind of song without words and aims primarily to express a longing for the warmer seasons. The short days of winter carry a certain sadness with them, but at the same time, an incomparable calm. This interplay between serenity and longing is intended to be expressed repeatedly through the harmonies in the piece. The piece is written in the harmonic environment of D minor in many places, although not a single D minor chord appears in the entire piece. This harmonic openness remains unresolved until the end, leaving the listener with a feeling of uncertainty.
