It was written during the composers last year of life, between January 29th and February 19th, 1928, inspired by the ageing Janácek's exceptional love for Kamila Stösslová. The Moravian Quartet devoted themselves to this impressive work; Janácek attended a total of three of their rehearsals in May and June 1928.
