Now that is funny and quite well done!

[gep]

The music sounds better than some serious modern concerti, and the soloist look way better than some human pianists!

This is brilliantly funny! Thanks for posting this!

Amazed

Amazed

About the remark, or it coming from me?
For ex., I do care little for Rautavaara's concerti, and find the Cage silly. That I like modern music doesn't mean I like all modern music!
And it isn't me who has a (piano-?) score of the Carter concerto!

[thalbergmad]

I haven't.

I chucked it

[gep]

I haven't.

I chucked it

Sure, sure......

[thalbergmad]

I chucked it on the same pile as the Bolcom and Shchedrin 6.

My "unlikely to ever look at it again" pile.

Why not sell them or give them to someone who actually likes them? I, for one, am happy with my score of the Bolcom, and I'm sure others would love it.

[thalbergmad]

I will shortly be putting some of my unwanted originals on e bay, so hopefully they will go to someone who wants them.

...but might look even better again were it a different cat playing a concerto by Darius Milou...

Best,

[thalbergmad]

Must be playing Fur Elise.

Thal

[mattgreenecomposer]

He heh.  He has a better tone than me.
 Thal..the Bolcom comment was funny-and true.

[thalbergmad]

I might have trouble selling me Bolcom.

I will put it on e bay for 5c and see what happens.

Thal

[mr music]

Cat's amazing.

[ahinton]

Must be playing Fur Elise.

Or the Cat's Fugue - or some Feline Mendelssohn - or maybe even some Catcert-urian...

Best,

I expected you to come out with some Sorabji related kitten on the keys joke.

Thal

[ahinton]

I expected you to come out with some Sorabji related kitten on the keys joke.

Then you were evidently disappointed - so much so, indeed, that you provided this joke yourself, for which thoughtful consideration I have no doubt everyone reading this thread will be most grateful.

Best,

Alistair

If you go into the youtube, you'll find the originals that are much more impressive, because they haven't been cut up, edited and spliced.  They're much longer and they really show how the cat is listening to himself play.  Truly amazing.

Oh all right, let me give you what you want then. Un nido di sCATole?

Do you like talking to yourself?

Apparently...

Let us end this here, on a saner note, with Les Chats from three songs (1941).

Best,

The soloist should take up some Depussy or Purrcell..

Or Furré - or even Whisk-negradsky, perhaps.

Time for a general paws, though, methinks.

Still amused here.

Someone should make a first and third movement and use this in the middle.
