Perpetuum Mobile, meaning perpetual motioni, is a Latin term that describes an impossible situation in which a substance has infinite energy. This situation is impossible because it violates the first and second laws of Newton.
But it is possible in music. Imagine a musical piece that is a continuous stream of notes. These are exactly the etudes in this album. They do not stop, they are always in motion and they can be played continuously.
Etudes are solo pieces, purposed to help the musician practice his technique. In this album, each etude is designed to practice another technique.
In addition, the etudes in this album are arranged according to the circle of fifths - each etude ends in a key which is dominant to the beginning of the next etude, even the last etude to the first one, and so on and so forth. This further emphasizes the infinite mobility of the music in this piece.
Once you enter the loop, you can't get out of it. All the etudes start in a minor key, as a symbol of the sadness of the matter, and end in a major key, to represent the hope, a false hope, that perhaps the next etude will take you out of the loop.
This album is a three-year-long project, in which I gathered ideas from the environment in which I live, from the people in it and from their thoughts, from life that continues all the time, and the music that will never stop.

1. Satz Ritornell - Perpetuum mobile 2. Satz Ritornell - Fantasia 3. Satz Mesto 4. Satz Ritornell - Burletta - Ritornell Ein Ritornell (kurz, melodios) umschliesst das ganze Stuck wie eine Rahmenerzahlung, leitet zum 1. , 2. und 4. Satz, steht wie eine besinnliche Frage am Ende (Es war einmal). Die Musik des ganzen Werks ist von allen Zwangen befreit; eine quasi improvisierte Reihung von Formteilen in jedem Satz. Dodekaphonik, Aleatorik, Klangspiele, Cluster wechseln, als Farbe, -als Felder eingesetzt. Das Klavier ubernimmt verschiedene Aufgaben, Begleitung, Gegenrhythmen, Klangfelder, Dialoge mit der Violine; diese wiederum dominiert meist technisch und musikalisch - aber unaufdringlich, fuhrt wie selbstverstandlich den Reigen an. Jeder einzelne Satz ist charakteristisch-typisch gepragt wie ein ,,moment musical. Satz 1 Perpetuum mobile. Technisch sehr anspruchsvoll fur die Violine, - will immer im Spiel bleiben - endet in insistierenden dreifachen Kanon ff - bricht ab - Satz 2 Klangspiele flag. pizz, gliss. , alternierend in Geige und Klavier (Saiteneffekte), Satz 3 Trauermarschahnliches Mesto Klopfgerausche fur Violine und Klavier als Metron, Ausdrucksstarke Kantilenen Satz 4 Mehrteilige humorvolle Burletta endet auf kreisender Violinfigur, fuhrt unmerklich ins Ritornell zuruck.

In these pieces composed for his niece, York Holler follows prominent examples, from Schumann to Bartok, as the title suggests. Theycombine educational elements with a compositionally quite simple, yet artistically valid lyrical form. Each of these miniatures gives shape to a certain character, conveying no programme like Kinderszenen but something purely musical like march, chorale or perpetuum mobile and giving expression to it on the instrument. The independent movement of both hands is technically demanding and encouraged above all else.
