CATcerto. ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE. Mindaugas Piecaitis, Nora The Piano Cat

[@holymoly4122]

Precisely.

[@AlvaSudden]

Nora's technique of leaning into the keys produces a tone that is unmatched in modern piano playing.

[@LamondFan]

I agree. Some pianists now have a very shallow touch, it's kinda funny how even a cat can produce a better tone.

[@水原勇気-e5m]

There are a lot of cats that are playing the piano on youtube footage. But this is one of the outstanding footages. The cat playing the piano and the musical performance are synchronizing competently. I respect the person who came up with the idea! The piano style is heartfelt musical performance. It looks like the cat is making sure if the sound is right, watching the conductor at times. It seems like this cat has musical talent in playing the piano, and the cat is genius. Thank you for sharing.

[@andersengman3896]

It's not random, since the cat is repeating several notes on purpose.

[@LJRiley-io7nh]

@@andersengman3896 Do you believe the cat is truly playing the notes with intent? Or do you suppose the cat is more like a small human child banging on the keys just to hear a sound with no particular notes in mind?

[@budakbaongsiah]

That was my first thought as well! I thought this was going to be a YTP or a fake cat videos like the Keyboard Cat, but it's a genuine cat pianist with a real chamber orchestra and an actual arrangement.

[@playlistsforfandoms1841]

I see we have all recently been summonned here after 14 years of this masterpiece. Truly inspiring performance by Master Nora

[@kristinn1465]

This was composed by a Lithuanian composer and orchestra. I found this video few years ago when they had only about 10K views and now they have over 14 million. It's a really beautiful and touching piece. It makes you cry. And for people that say it's a joke, they don't know how to recognize real music. Also, I believe there was a you tube channel or a website for Nora the cat.

[@ClaudetteMiss]

It's really quite genuis to have written music around the kitty's piano parts in a way that makes the piece feel and sound so natural. Kudos!

FANTASTIC WORK on adapting Nora's amazing piano playing into such wonderful purrformance! You did a remarkable job arranging & filling out out the piece perfectly to accompany her music, building on it without taking away from it. Matching her tones & chords (even discordant as they are) in such creative ways that musically work SO WELL! Thank you for this unique, beautiful, playful, & thoughtful tribute to this special cat & her love of music!

Smart kitty can play by ear real well; I'm very seriously impressed!

This is unbelievable. The video of the cat must have been taken first, then the orchestra performed to the cat’s piano playing. This is the sweetest and most beautiful thing that I’ve seen and heard in my decades old life.

2:51 I love that Nora plays that nice phrase and the flutes echo her right after that. Then on the second time the oboe/clarinet comes along as well.

Gui Porto I love when the Nora play at 1:46 b flat in the next octave. It,s one of the most wonderfull melody in the wolrd.

Cat greeting behavior. I have spent weeks investigating how to understand cats and found a great website at Turbo Feline Roadmap (google it if you are interested)
