Review
There really was a Domenico Scarlatti and legend says he had a cat who loved to listen to Scarlatti's music - he did indeed write "Cat Fugue" that he said was written by the cat walking across the keys - this is the story of the writing of said music! Beautiful illustrations add to the story of a composer, his cat and what happened when the cat played the harpsichord
Overall Book Score: excellent
