Giant Finger-Eating Hamster (duet ver.)

Feb. 2021 (for violin and classical guitar)

This piece was inspired by a weird dream I had, which involved getting chased by a 9 feet tall vicious hamster that indulges in eating human fingers - specifically thumbs. The rapid strumming of the guitar illustrates the victim desperately trying to shake off the hamster off of their hand. The melancholy theme introduced by the guitar makes the listener wonder, does the hamster have a sad history? Or has it always been, and will be, a masochistic fluff ball?
