Performance date: 05.06.2009. Klaipeda Chamber Orchestra, conductor and composer Mindaugas Piecaitis. www.piecaitis.eu; www.ravenswingstudio.com
English translation:
The chamber orchestra solo is performed by a cat from the United States. Actually, the famous four-footed pianist does not perform live on the stage. Her playing is heard through a video projector.
The Klaipeda chamber orchestra is rehearsing the concert program which will be presented to the young listeners of this port city. The solo in this piece, which was written by the conductor and composer Mindaugas Piecaitis, is performed by the purring world-renowned star from the US the four-footed pianist Nora. The conductor says that the idea to include the piano-playing cat in the repertoire of the musical program for children was born when he saw film footage about her.
Mindaugas Piecaitis: "I was so enchanted and delightedAnd just by chance I was preparing a childrens program for Klaipeda. Jokingly, I proposed that we show the children that cat. And that idea was received here with such enthusiasm, that later I thought:..waitwhy not get some really good quality material, edit it and put it into a production and why not write an orchestral piece. Thats how everything came about."
The musicians of the Klaipeda chamber orchestra say that they never imagined they would ever perform with a cat. The orchestras pianist Egle Povilanskiene says she is delighted not only by the conductors contrivance to create an atypical piece, but also by the talents of her rival Nora.
Egle Povilanskiene (pianist): "Well, I think I still have a long way to go. You really need a lot of study for such artistic skill.
Rimantas Giedraitis (flutist): "This cat has its own web page, has an owner, who has patented her discovery. This is only a small portion of what we see on the screen and of the reasons why an accompaniment was conceived".
Mindaugas Piecaitis: "No one ever taught her. Her owner is a piano teacher, she teaches children. As for Nora she is a cat. She comes and plays whenever she feels like it".
The programs concert solo is performed not only by the exotic American pianist but also by a typewriter. Conductor Mindaugas Piecaitis says that educational projects for children make up a huge portion of his creative activities.
Mindaugas Piecaitis: "I am constantly looking for interesting and unconventional pieces that would in some way be attractive to children. I look for playfulness in music because children like to play".
Gidone Vaitkuviene (manager): "There is a preconceived notion in our society that academic, classical music is serious composition, perhaps sometimes even boring. That is the stereotype. With this educational project we want to touch childrens heartsand through such a playful prism".
In the educational project "The Playful Music Orchestra" with the Klaipeda chamber orchestra, classical works will also be performed by the young audiences contemporaries. Meanwhile, the conductor not only has a variety of ideas for the continuation of this project, but also dreams of someday meeting the enchanting tabby pianist to try to make a deal with her to perform this piece live.

When the only sound in the empty street,
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop.
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On the wayward ways of this wayward town.
That her smile becomes a smirk,
I go to work.
Love for sale,
Appetising young love for sale.
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled,
Love that's only slightly soiled,
Love for sale.
Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price,
For a trip to paradise?
Love for sale
Let the poets pipe of love
in their childish way,
I know every type of love
Better far than they.
If you want the thrill of love,
I've been through the mill of love;
Old love, new love
Every love but true love
Love for sale.
Appetising young love for sale.
If you want to buy my wares.
Follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale.
Love for sale.

先日De-ga-showが復活してピットインでライヴをやった。夏には札幌のジャズフェスにも出るらしい。当店でも出演をお願いしたいところだが、なにせ６人、いや巨大なアンプも入れると８人編成分の大所帯。無理だ！しかし当店にはSO-KANA bandがある。平均年齢はこちらの方が上かもしれないが、力強いサウンドは互角と見た。年に一度あるかないかの貴重なライヴ。集合されたし！
