Cioran talks about his insomnia, and how he takes walks at night. Koglmann says, "I have used all themes of Haydn's 'Symphony of Sibiu', some in their original form, some as variations, with different harmonies or rhythms. Moreover, I have used abrupt cuts, also for the purpose of emphasizing the ambivalences of Cioran, who was on the one hand an absolute skeptic but on the other hand really quite a cheerful person, not at all melancholy."
