About the Piece
Dripping Minutes – Frozen Years explores the perception of time—its flow, suspension, and psychological elasticity. Slow‑moving events accumulate into a sense of stillness, creating a meditative atmosphere shaped by subtle shifts of color and pacing. The piece is ideal for professional violists and pianists, as well as advanced students developing control, pacing, and sustained expression. It works beautifully in contemporary chamber concerts, themed recitals on stillness, or intimate halls where quiet nuance can be fully appreciated.
 
Program Notes
As the title suggests, Dripping Minutes – Frozen Years explores themes of time, the passage of time, and the contrast between psychological time and real time. In this slow‑paced piece, I depict certain events that pass by, yet collectively, they create a sense of time standing still.
Dripping Minutes – Frozen Years is dedicated to Tabea Zimmermann.
