An earlier version for piano was composed in 1939(?) In 1940, under dancer and choreographer Nina Verchinina, the piano version was used for 2 small-scale ballet performances, one a charity performance, by Col. W. de Basil's Ballet Russes. The work was orchestrated in 1941 and performed as a concert piece by Melbourne University Conservatorium Symphony Orchestra. Also played at various ABC orchestral concerts in Melbourne and Sydney, 1942-1946. A modified version was later choreographed by Laurel Martyn, and was one of four new ballets performed by the Ballet Guild in the opening program of its first season on 5 Nov. 1946 at the Repertory Theatre, Middle Park, Melbourne.
