    When you're a great opera composer and this amazing music flows from your pen, but you have writer's block on the lyrics. Suddenly, your cat jumps up on your desk and walks across your manuscript (as cats always do) and you are inspired...

    The tension between them is so nerve-wracking I felt they were both about to snap. They pretend they're over it after one lashes out but you can still feel that something's about to happen. It really ends before the true horror leaving what happens next only to the imagination. Meow.

      ​@@Cissapp2008 "While the piece is typically attributed to Gioachino Rossini, it was not actually written by him, but is instead a compilation written in 1825 that draws principally on his 1816 opera, Otello. Hubert Hunt claims that the compiler was Robert Lucas de Pearsall, who for this purpose adopted the pseudonym "G. Berthold"."
      I guess it's like Bach's Toccata and Fugue, which very likely wasn't written by Bach, either. A lot of things aren't as they seem! :)
