"Partita" is dedicated to Lazarof's son David. The work is scored for 2 trumpets, Horn in F, tenor Trombone and Tuba and precorded tracks. Earlier ideas for the work are dated from Feb. 1971. Lazarof composed the first draft between March 17 and April 11, 1971. The first draft is written in pencil, with meters, time markers and notes in red pencil; You can see edits and musical ideas worked out by Lazarof, which he then scribbled out. In the draft version of the manuscript, Lazarof makes detailed notes on page 9 about parts that are to be played "Live". On the back of the last page, there are notes by Lazarof working out the title. Also included in the folder are 5 pages of sketches that Lazarof crossed out.
