Description

passage: time (copy), for solo violin (2019), was commissioned by Miranda Cuckson, to whom it is dedicated in admiration,
gratitude, and friendship. The composition is based on quotations from Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, August Kühnel, Johann
Paul von Westhoff, Johann Georg Pisendel, and Johann Sebastian Bach, as well as self-quotations. Passage refers to Passacaglia
(specifically the Passacaglia by Biber, which is the 16th sonata of the Rosary Sonatas and generally considered to be a forerunner of
Bach's Chaconne); copy refers to a quote by composer Johannes Kreidler: "Composing for violin means to copy."
