A Feline Musical Masterpiece

Alex Ross, music critic for the New Yorker, thinks that he has found a great new composer. There's only one catch: this composer doesn't even know how to read or write music. (Did I mention she's also a kitten?):

It is risky to attempt an analysis of such an intricate musical conception after only a few auditions, but I am ready to hail this fluffy young composer's work as a captivating and utterly fresh synthesis of late twentieth-century minimalist tendencies with the chromatic language of canonical European modernism.

I can definitely hear the Schoenbergian influences. Watch the full composition (and creative process) on You Tube.

John Corigliano, "Fantasia on an Ostinato": Corigliano is absolutely my favorite modern composer. He writes stunningly beautiful music. This is a wonderfully subtle piece: unaccompanied solo piano. Just incredible. Isis, "Not in Rivers, But in Drops": The transition between the last one and…
Recently I attended a concert featuring the premier of an up-and-coming composer's work. She gave a brief talk before her piece was played, during which she explained the complex symbology of her work. The musical notes weren't just noises; they were intended to convey a meaning above and beyond a…

Watching key depressions vis a vis pitch, I have to cast doubt on the entire enterprise, though the Kitty in question is indeed a major cutie. Perhaps as much or more to the point is Why Cats Paint. I have the book http://www.amazon.com/Why-Cats-Paint-Theory-Aesthetics/dp/0898156122
and could just about believe that it was not a put-on till I discovered a complementary book, with complementary authors,

My skepticism wrt feline aesthetics (though I love them dearly) does not interfere with my rather firm opinions about giving our primate cousins the vote. I don't know about gibbons, but would not want to be accused of species-ism.
