I'm having trouble being coherent about this gorgeous thing

[tzikeh]

So I'll be glib and shallow and derivative instead.

1) Betsy Alexander, a piano teacher in Pennsylvania, discovers that her cat Nora enjoys pressing piano keys with her paws (and, occasionally, her face) to "play" music.

2) As it is now compulsory to post videos on YouTube if you have cute cat who does a cute thing, Alexander does so.

3) Mindaugas Piečaitis, a composer in Lithuania, sees Nora on YouTube.

4) Piečaitis contacts Betsy with an idea: he wants to edit together pieces of the videos, and then compose a concerto in which Nora would solo on the piano via video projection on a screen above a live orchestra.

5) ART HAPPENS.

This? Right here? Is the quintessential example of internet awesomeness.

Cats need opposable thumbs, why?

They keep this up, we'll give up the idea of ever getting out of indentured servatude.
