Meow is the only word in this piece
Imagine two cats having a conversation. All the things they are saying, all compliments, nice words, maybe even insults, everything for us sounds just like meow, meooooow or meeeeeeeeeoooooowwww.
Surely we can hear the different pitch, pace and way the cats pronounce those meows, but we have no clue what they are saying. Unless we have a special ability like Doctor Dolittle has, all we can do is just guess. Our intuition can help us decipher their language to some point, though there are always grey areas we don't understand.
Just think about the moments when they behave in an "incomprehensible" way. The most we can think of is that they are spoiled, weird, picky or have a strong character. It's just that we don't understand them. Our furry friends are maybe more sophisticated actually... I found out they can also sing.
Yes.
Why have you made an incredulous face now? Don't you believe me?
Duetto buffo di due gatti is a humorous duet for two cats, a composition attributed to Gioachino Rossini. Attributed - as maybe it was someone else who wrote the piece... the cats just didn't write down right the composer's name. 😁
What we can hear in this duet is meow. Many meows, but you all know that I am a pianist and not a singer. I can just make my hands and fingers behave like two cats, so we have this duet played on the piano keys. Cats anyway like to play, so I see it perfectly doable to perform the Duetto buffo di due gatti just on the piano.
Two hands playing the role of two cats. I hope they will not fight. They need to coordinate and get this composition work out somehow. In the first part, they are kind of sad, or just sleepy. (do you hear those meow motifs?) and the second part brings more cheerful time from the cats' lives. My cats from this week converted themselves into musical notes, that's why for this Caturday you don't see photos of cats... but you can hear them through the piece I play :))
Ok, ok, one paw of a sleepy ginger found its way to this post. He is just listening to the music from a distance.

Hello dear friend @mipiano good morning
What you say is very true, cats are very communicative animals, especially with their own species, and although we do not understand their dialect, there are body expressions that make us understand them.
I loved this interpretation, you are very talented and a great writer. I like your posts.
I take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful weekend.
Thank you @jlufer , I am glad you liked it
Happy weekend to you 🎶
I really like watching your hands gracefully playing piano.. The piece reminded me of an old movie I watched before. I just couldn't remember the title..
Btw, check the movie The Secret, you might like it.. Two young people travel to old and modern times respectively after playing a certain piece of piano they discovered..
Oh, wow, thanks for the recommendation of that movie, @jane1289. Is it this one? there are several movies with the same name so I don't know whether do you think about this one. Thanks
Sending a hug 🤗
Yes it is.. It is very good. ☺️. I watched it several times haha
Thank you once again for the recommendation 🙂
¡Qué bonito! I jumped out of bed for this cat romp... no. It's a lie. I would have stayed longer, but mamani and dad told me they are close by and you know... it will be a revolution.
Thanks @mipiano. Have a nice day and weekend.
Meowgical weekend for you and your revolutionary family 😁
I hope Yin will be around today so they see him :))
meooow-meow (gracias)
That's how the cats whisper?
😂
yes, I try to build that lenguaje gatuno 😄
Cool.
Look, a business plan. When you break down all the nuances of meowing and its meaning, you can patent the lenguaje gatuno and sell it & incorporate it in Duolingo!
🤣
{lol} morí (qué carcajada me has hecho soltar)
Truly beautiful. Meow
Meow 👋
I also really like hearing the notes from the piano. When I was in high school, I once went into the music room and I tried to press the piano keys.😃👍
The piano has a nice sound :)
But I am subjective as it is my instrument 😁
hehheeh.. but also very interesting like that instrument...
It's always a pleasure to enjoy your work. Thanks and Congrats. Greetings
Gracias @superjavi 🎶🍸
me gusto mucho cuando la melodía venia lenta y de repente empieza mas movidita y dinámica eso es fantástico tocas muy bien tu instrumento
Sí, a mí también me gusta la segunda parte, cuando es más movidita la obra. 🎶
meow, meow, muchas gracias por escuchar este vídeo, dicen mis
gatosmanos 😄(no tengo gatos en realidad, ese gato es de mis padres 🙂)
Music and cats, it's perfect!
You know? cats' meows were created by them to communicate with humans.... but I don't understand them hahahaha they still speak beautifully. My Catalina talks all the time.
This piece of music is beautiful in its two parts, one soft and the other energetic.... and if that's where the cats fight on the roof?
Thank you, I enjoyed it very much!❤️
Yes, a perfect combination indeed 😃
Maybe, though I think they just have some dialogue here, for a real fight on the roof more dramatic music would be needed. Beethoven kind of dramatic music :))
And thank you @avdesing for listening to this different Caturday post 😇
It would be great cats playing piano Beethoven .... I'm already imagining it!
Thanks to you, it's a pleasure!❤️
Hello there,
What a delightful and imaginative perspective you've shared about our furry friends! Cats truly have their own mysterious language, and your playful portrayal of them having a musical conversation is both charming and creative. It's fun to imagine our cats as sophisticated creatures with hidden talents like singing.
Your piano rendition of the Duetto buffo di due gatti is simply purr-fect! The way you've translated their meows into a musical piece is impressive. It's clear that your love for music and your feline companions have come together beautifully in this performance.
And how adorable that one of your cats made a cameo appearance, even if from a distance, to enjoy the musical serenade. Cats have a way of adding their special touch to every moment.
Thank you for sharing this unique and delightful post. It brought a smile to my face. Keep making beautiful music and cherishing those moments with your furry friends!
Warm regards,
@boeltermc
Well, in the lack of cats last week (I didn't meet any in the streets as I usually do) I brought feline music 😁
I had a lot of fun the first time I heard this composition, like many many years ago, somewhere in the high school. Also, it is fun playing it. I am glad this post brought a smile to your face. That was the goal - to bring some fun as it is needed :))
The cat that appeared with his paw is my parents' cat 😇
I was listening and remembered that spectacular show of Monserrat Caballé and Concha Velazco performing this song. I was dying of laughter, that was great. I would love to be able to meow like Monserrat Caballé 😻😸😹
You are completely right - Montserrat Caballé did it awesomely! Nobody could meow as great as she used to do 😇 👏
😽😽😽
Yay! 🤗

The post and the music deserved it
Cats are fantastic creatures with way a lot more interesting aspects than people will ever do. I learned that by myself after becoming a cat mom and watching and reading lots of studies and documentaries about them. 😁
They do have many abilities we can just dream about. We sometimes joke that we would like to see in the dark as cats do. I also wish I would have that many hours a day to sleep as kitties 😇 😁
Meowgical greetings 😋
Absolutely! Meowgical Sunday! ✨
Hi @mipiano
Cats are the most spoiled animals, in fact, if we are always with him, meow, the cat will we know the meaning such as eating and drinking that he asks for, hopefully always close to the cat and know his feelings
Cats are cats - special creatures hehe
They are allowed to be a bit spoiled ;)
Hehehe
I love cats because they are loyal
I'll be honest I'm a bit disappointed. I was expecting this:
Hahaha, that's a cool masterpiece. 😂
A pity that Tiger used to sleep on the piano keys instead of practising... 😁
Here is a photo to ease your disappointment a bit {no video footage}. Just imagine a two and a half octave of cluster in pianissimo:
Haha yes, perhaps he's playing a later part of John Cage's 'As Slow as Possible' ^__^
I guess thats how babies make their own language too, shows they are different ways people view the world, aspects through different kinda means languages, actions, behaviors, talent and so on. Beautiful piece you played there. By the way those paw looks cute 😁
Thanks :)
Thank you for thanking me☺️☺️
Tu piano es maravilloso aunque lo toque un gato. Lo oímos mi esposo y yo el otro día en un post anterior y el dijo ella es una fuera de liga, así se dice en Cuba cuando algo es muy bueno.
Yahh ella es bastante buena, mi marido dijo exactamente lo mismo con un lema diferente
Jjjjjj así mismo.
☺️☺️
