Cat Mewsik

For Solo Piano, Early Advanced, 18 Pages
I have four cats at home, which qualifies me as a borderline crazy cat man. If I neglect to close the piano lid, Ill sometimes hear them walk across the piano keys in the middle of the night, waking up the house with dissonant clusters of notes going high to low, or low to high- this was the initial inspiration for these three pieces for piano about cats.
Birds at the Window - We have hung our birdfeeder outside our window. The windowsill is a favorite spot for the kitties to relax and stretch in the sun. When the birds come to feed, the cats bristle with excitement as they chatter and swat at the window. The birds seem to know they are safe and fly around freely.
Kittys Dream - Housecats spend most of their life sleeping or dozing. Ive read that cats do dream. I wonder what they dream of.
The Laser Pointer - The kitties seem to know that we are teasing them with the laser pointer, but they cant fight the instinct to chase it. They feign disinterest, hoping to catch the dot off guard. In a flash they leap for the dot, skidding wildly. Of course, they never catch it. I almost feel bad for laughing. Eventually, they will become frustrated and disgusted with this game and slink away.
