Dictation by a cat
Speaking about the history of this unique project, the conductor said that the idea
arose completely by chance, when he received an e-mail from some friends with a link to a
piano-playing cat on »YouTube«.
»I was enchanted by her abilities and started some further research. I reviewed
everything I could find on the Internet and it just intrigued me more«, – remembered
M.Piecaitis.
Mindaugas got in touch with Nora`s owners and told them about his idea to write a
piece for their famous soloist and an orchestra. Within a few days they had prepared the
needed visual material.
»I wrote down all of Nora`s improvisations in music (notes), happily remembering my
time at the M.K.Čiurlionis art school, when we used to write musical dictations. It never
crossed my mind that some time in my life, my teacher could ever be a cat«, –
M.Piecaitis said with a smile.
So beautiful, so cute :) !
