Modesta Bor's Suite for Cello and Piano was composed in Moscow in 1961 for the Spanish cellist Luis García Renart, whom the composer met when the two were studying at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in this same city. However, his first public audition was held 25 years later within the framework of the First Latin American Chamber Music Festival of the 20th century. The work was premiered in the presence of the composer by the cellist Germán Marcano and the pianist Elizabeth Guerrero on July 2, 1986 in the Concert Hall of the Ateneo de Caracas.
