  • Nora's technique of leaning into the keys produces a tone that is unmatched in modern piano playing.

    • I agree. Some pianists now have a very shallow touch, it's kinda funny how even a cat can produce a better tone.

  • There are a lot of cats that are playing the piano on youtube footage. But this is one of the outstanding footages. The cat playing the piano and the musical performance are synchronizing competently. I respect the person who came up with the idea! The piano style is heartfelt musical performance. It looks like the cat is making sure if the sound is right, watching the conductor at times. It seems like this cat has musical talent in playing the piano, and the cat is genius. Thank you for sharing.

Spectacular, something so so special that I will share and remember for the rest of my life. So many thanks to the orchesta, composer, the leader, Nora's parents, and the other 2 little kitties that allowed me to cry with joy. I needed this, I needed to be happy if for just a few minutes. Live on for many, many years, little sweet pea ❤ She actually knew she what she was doing. Love her.
