The piece was written for the concert in memory of István Vántus in 2022. All the chords in the piece are based on the facsimile 12, B-A-C-H reihe on page 91 of Mária Illés' book on Vántus. The table is obviously to be interpreted horizontally from Vántus' point of view, but in the piece, a vertical summation of it had been used. Thus, the transpositions of the B-A-C-H motives are lost from it, but 12 individual chords are created. The piece moves on these 12 chords. The piece was inspired by Steve Reich's Piano Phase, with phase shifting at its center.
