The piece, which is about 4 minutes short, was written in Sweden in February 2011. The title refers to its three-part form, the first part of which is repeated at the end (ABCA). Section A is a lively dance based on a 3+3+2 eighth-note rhythm. Part B is a lyrical, almost romantic waltz and section C is a slow-starting mazurka that leads back to the first part. The musical material is absolutely harmonic and tonal, even when the harmony is not used functionally. The orchestration consists of flute 1+2, oboe 1+2, clarinet in Bb 1+2, bassoon 1+2, 4 horns in F, 2 trumpets in Bb, 2 trombones, 3 (possibly 4) percussionists (no timpani), strings.
There is a chamber music version of the piece for clarinet, trombone, guitar, double bass and percussion (see below various instrumentations).
