If Gregor
Nov. 2022 - April 2023 (for four-hand piano)
Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis reimagined. Instead of spending the remaining days of his life suffering and caged in the mockery of what his life used to be as a human, what if Gregor jumped out of the window and flew away?
“Als Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus unruhigen Träumen erwachte, fand er sich in seinem Bett zu einem ungeheueren Ungeziefer verwandelt.

Premiered at the Juilliard Pre-College Composition Senior Recital on April 22nd, 2023.
