If famous composers were cats --
Unbeknownst to me, it turns out that this is an actual piano score! It is called Toc-cat-a in B for Pawiano and was written by Noam Oxman in honour of a cat named Latte! Here is a recording of it --
Thanks to intrepid blogging buddy Jim of Road to Parnassus for researching that meme and letting us know the results! More whimsical animal compositions by Noam Osman are found here.
The first! Oh, and the view inside a violin. Beautiful! Can I live there?
ReplyDelete...Debra, once again you Scored!
ReplyDeleteHello Debra, How am I going to get any work done if you keep sending me over to Youtube?
ReplyDeleteHere is the Toc-cat-a in B played out, apparently by the composer (actually kind of fun):

If you look at his other videos, you will see other weirdly written music, including more cats and animals:

@ Parnassus (Jim) -- OMG I didn't know this was a real score! Thanks for those marvelous links! I'm going to amend my post accordingly so others can hear it played too. You truly are the King of Researchers, my friend.
DeleteThe one with the car ... 😬😬😬
ReplyDeleteHow hilarious that was an actual score!!!
DeleteMaybe, it was all inspired by the cat working the keyboard and Mozart was just transcribing the cats creation?
ReplyDeleteI love the view inside a violin. But think of the noise and vibration!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic piece! Thank you for that!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the VW is stealable! Happy Sunday!
I really do enjoy your memes. And that Toc-cat-a was just lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat last one has HRH-the Cat written ALLLLLLLL over it!!!!
ReplyDelete😹🙀 I listened to Toc-cat-a in B while Hubby was in the room. He asked, "what is that? It sounds like two cats running around on a piano." 😲🤣 What a successful piece of music if my Hubby can "get" it!! 😻
ReplyDeleteI read your post this morning, but didn't have time to comment. Now I find that you've added even more fun!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed most the composers/cats similarities 😊
ReplyDeleteSeveral good GROANS today.
ReplyDeleteThe car was my favourite.
ReplyDeleteReally a fun series!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, these are funny.
ReplyDeleteA few years ago I looked at some sheet music and realized I couldn't read it anymore. That wasn't funny to me but these are! Love the cat music.
ReplyDeleteFlight of the Bumble Bee made me Laugh Out Loud! The classical cat tune wasn't like nails on a chalkboard, so that was fine too...
ReplyDeleteSuch a noteworthy post!
ReplyDelete@ Marie Smith -- Oh, good one -- GROAN!
DeleteOh crikey, that cat music is really marvellous, what an amazing idea! Loved the flight of the bumble bee. Actually loved them all.
ReplyDeleteWeird Al could be played by Tom Hulce in a biopic.
ReplyDelete@ Kirk -- Yes, that would be appropriate!
DeleteFor some time I like to tie whatever is being discussed into the possibility The Arizona Symphony is working on conducting it - in E-flat.
ReplyDeleteI’m not sure what influenced this post but I do like the giggles.
ReplyDeleteThe inside of the violin is stunning
Those photos inside a violin! Wow!
ReplyDeleteLove all of these, the humorous and the thought-provoking.
ReplyDeletePoor bumblebees. Although, now that Bumblebee Tuna song is stuck in my head.
ReplyDeleteWow. The Cat Piano Score is lovely! I don't think there would ever be a time in my existence when I could read music.
ReplyDeletehow do you find the BEST-EST things and then put them together? Love the cat piano score!!!!
