Toru Takemitsu was inspired to compose Quatrain II as a homage to this work when the composer of this work played an excerpt for him on piano. The Tashi Group is probably best known for recording this piece for RCA label. The first movement of this piece notably uses ragavardhana rhythm and sees the cello play a five-note ostinato of C-E-D-F-sharp-B-flat throughout the entire movement. Another movement is based on (*) the sixth mode of limited transposition, a practice that the composer outlined in his treatise The Technique of My Musical Language. A violin solo begins the final movement of this piece entitled "Praise to the Immortality of Jesus," while the movement "Abyss of Birds" features a slow clarinet solo. For 10 points, name this piece composed during the composer's time in a German POW camp, a work by Olivier Messiaen.
