Kocsár composed the Chaconne for three-part string ensemble in 1996. Originally a popular Baroque musical form, the chaconne is characterized by a set of ground-bass variations. In Kocsár's piece the 23-bar theme is followed by nine variations of diverse characters. The composition lasts about nine minutes and is rounded off with a recapitulation of the theme and a coda. The Chaconne can be performed by junior string orchestras consisting of either two violins and a violoncello or a violin, a viola, and a violoncello (with or without double bass), or by string trios consisting of two violins and violoncello or a violin, a viola and a violoncello. The edition includes a fullscore and one part for each instrument. If the work is performed by a string orchestra the parts may be copied as required for the number of musicians.

Die Chaconne komponierte Kocsár 1996 für dreistimmiges Streicherensemble. Charakteristisch für die Chaconne, eine beliebte Musikform des Barocks, ist eine auf Ostinato-Bass basierende Folge von Variationen. In Kocsárs Werk folgen dem 23 Takte umfassenden Thema neun Variationen unterschiedlichen Charakters. Die etwa neunminütige Komposition wird durch die Wiederkehr des Themas und eine Coda abgerundet.
