'Sermaf' was commissioned by Teimuraz Janikashvili (violin) and Natalia Tchitch (viola). They played the premiere in May 2009 in La Coruña, Spain. This piece is based on a traditional tune from Adyghea, a small republic from the North Caucasus, and it is dedicated to Guissa Tchitch, an important Adhygean composer, who revealed me the quite impressive musical universe of this region's people.
