Still, moving consists of a set of 8 variations based on a short, monophonic “theme” constructed out of increasing intervals. Each variation corresponds to its numerical interval — for example, Variation 3 is built primarily on the interval of a 3rd. The variations also differ in length. Some are very short, while others, like the 5th and 6th variations, are much longer and function more like larger sections or movements within the piece.
The title refers to things that are either man-made or occur in nature that appear to be “still” (stationary, solid, or static) but are actually constantly moving. Each variation is titled after a specific occurrence, and while some are literal and pictorial, others are more philosophical. Musically, this premise is embodied by the roles of the two instruments. The piano remains fairly “still,” in that it adheres not deviate relatively closely to the theme, while the cello embellishes and introduces new content throughout the piece.
The variations along with their time code in the recording are as followed: 
1. Moving (O:35)
2. Clouds (1:03)
3. Tides (1:25)
4. Waterfalls (2:49)
5. Skylines (3:16)
6. Love (5:07)
7. In Orbit (8:41)
8. Still (9:02)
Still, moving was composed for Julian Schwarz and Marika Bournaki and was premiered by the duo on August 30, 2019 at Bargemusic.

Mote

sunbathed beside you
clocks ring familiar times
and i dont want no value
i crave those simple eyes

oye bonita a donde vas?
oye preciosa pos van acá
si ya tu sabes como jugar
el solesito te va calmar

and i just want you closer
i dont want you far away
i need you to smile my way as you say
you want me just the same

wait for the linens
the sunset dives away from us
and not a minute later
we fade away until we depart

oye bonita a donde vas?
oye preciosa pos van acá
si ya tu sabes como jugar
el solesito te va calmar

and i just want you closer
i dont want you far away
i need you to smile my way as you say
you want me just the same
