Who Is Mindaugas Piečaitis and What is the CATcerto?

[Math Is Hard]

The CATcerto is the current project of the lithuanian conductor, composer and artist Mindaugas Piečaitis. The world premiere was performed by Klaipėda Chamber Orchestra in the Klaipėda Concert Hall in Klaipėda (Lithuania) on 5th June, 2009. It gained recognition in the international media, a.o. the BBC, Lithuanian TV, Baltic TV and the First Baltic Chanel (russian).

Mindaugas Piečaitis composed and directed the Catcerto for Nora The Piano Cat™ and orchestra, where Nora, the soloist, was brought in via video.

Hi Wollie! Yea, I thought that was some pretty clever composing :)

It's quite cute. Though, I think we should talk to the yellow tabby who walked out on the performance. Clearly he is a critic and was not as impressed by the performance. (If the people filming the cat had kept their piano more clutter-free, the fact that it was a lot of clips spliced together would have been less obvious...the books and other clutter on the piano kept changing. )

I sensed just the tiniest bit of jealousy from the other two felines.

My cousin's cat seemed to love running on the keyboard when he jumped off the bookcase. Couldn't have composed much around his free-form scales, though. If he had stayed on the black keys, we might have been able to compose a blues number around his improvisations.

It's great when people roll their faces on things and make art. Hey, cats are people too!

It's cute and very clever composition.

Aw, that made my heart feel happy. I especially liked how much the cat appeared to enjoy rubbing his face on the keys.
