Geschrieben 1981 fur die Malerin und Musikerin Rivka Golani, wurde das Werk 1981 im Rahmen von Musique Vivante, Paris, durch Rivka Golani, Viola, uraufgefuhrt.Eine in sehr langsamem Tempo fortschreitende Harmonik wird durch eine genau festgelegte Arpeggio- und Tremolo-Technik des Bogens von mehreren unaufhorlich zitternden und sich in allen Richtungen unregelmassig bewegenden Klanggittern uberdeckt. Was durch diese Gitter hindurch tont, ist eine ausserst vielschichtige, extrem rasch sich bewegende Musik, die gleichzeitig ablauft.Es gibt Versionen des gleichen Werkes auch fur Cello (1981) und fur Violine (1983).

The original version for violin dates from 1981, thus being one of the early works by the Israeli composer who teaches at Harvard University. About 35 years later, Chaya Czernowin wrote the arrangement for viola which was first performed by Maria Ritzenthaler at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis in 2015. In the same year, she composed another version for violoncello solo.

The title goes back to the illustrated book 'Kamfu mir helfen?' by Dirk Schmidt & Barbara Schmidt. The charming story inspired the composer to write music which, according to tradition, is based on the seventh and second intervals, using the common string techniques such as scale, arpeggio, double stop and trill.Naske is one of the most successful female composers in the field of children's theatre. This is why there is a lot of theatricality combined with humour and irony in this virtuoso solo piece, which is also rewarding for viola and violoncello.

Judith Butler defines 'precarity' as the unequal distribution of precariousness. These are precarious times, in which access to safe clean water is an endangered human right, increasingly under siege by the damage to the planet brought about by humankind's excesses. But this is also an epoch of systemic inequality, in which corporations, municipalities, and nation-states can and do inflict incremental or drastic harm on entire vulnerable populations, through war, deregulated pollution, and the differential withholding of basic life needs. Jasbir Puar has called out this cruel, largely unchecked capacity of the powerful, which she critically labels 'the right to maim.' The people of Flint, Michigan became a historic example of a living population subjected to this kind of violence, in the form of environmental racism. In this Year of Water, I offer this piece, and my commission, to the children of Flint.- Vijay IyerNew York CityOctober 2, 2019.
