She's good but her pedal work leaves something to be desired.

Refresh - I just came across this again and, in the midst of all the doom and gloom, wanted to cheer everyone up with some proper music :-D

Domenico Scarlatti - Italian composer born in the same year as J.S.Bach and Handel. Wrote mainly keyboard music - the first to use "crossed hands" - although apparently in later life he became too overweight to do this - obviously fond of the pasta!

Scarcatti?

The Scarlatti fugue apparently composed on a sequence of notes played by his cat as it walked across the keys.

Perhaps play some "Depussy"?

Our recently departed cat, Lily, once took a paitbrush into her mouth and added some colour to my daughter's art work. Wish I had recorded that :-)

Thanks, Dave. The actually does seem to be playing music.

I say that because I once had a cat who had the chance to see that piano keys are connected to hammers which move, and the movement of the hammers fascinated her. But she didn't seem to care what kind of sound came out when she hit the keys.
