This piece was started in the August of 1986 at the end of that month The doctor found that I had an agressive Lymphoma. How do I finish the piece before all medication. When still at the hopital my wife brought manuscript paper. Then sitting in bed I scribled away No time to loose. The premiere was about a month away the poisinous medication around the corner. The piece left to be copied I to start chemopherapy. In 1989 I added a slow first part a Nocturne to go with the Scherzo.
