To anyone wondering; Nora the cat is still alive, she's 17!
Thank you very much for the update, I am so very happy she is still with us.
Wonderful!!
Long live Nora! Valio!
And...does she still play a little tune now and then...?
Thank you for this 😊
I love when she puts her head on the keys. She's playing by 'ear'.
😂🤣🤣

She's emoting with the music. More sensitive and genuine than Lang-Lang.
so passionate, full of feeling
Precisely.
She was waiting for someone to recognize her meowsical genius.
😻😻😻
Meow 🍶🥛🐠🐟
Киса просто гениальная пианистка ❤
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.
Must have been a pianist in a past life..😸😸😻😻💖
Exactly my thought. I don't think we reincarnate as supposedly higher species of human, I think the really good people are blessed to reincarnate as so-called lower life forms such as cats. 😻😺
I agree!!!!! Most amazing and incredible to see this special cat playing wonderful Jazz.

MEWzart?
@@christinegrannesandchaska4043 Purr-cell.
There a people who practice every day who can't get a gig and then there is this cat getting a lead in an orchestra
Deservedly so. She is brilliant, especially when you consider that she has no fingers...
I have followed Nora for years and I can confirm that this brilliant composition is based on HER tunes, brilliantly orchestrated into one piece by Mindaugas Piecaitis. Indeed they are both musical geniuses.
@@davidbrown8763
Here I was thinking that Mindaugas and Piecaitis were the names of the other two cats.
@@chookinathunderstorm3446 It could be that one is Nora's manager and the other is her agent? Perhaps worth investigation - but I will leave that to others with more investigative skills than what I have...
Haha she obviously is deserved tho.
Yuh too bad mind, gwey!!!!!!!
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.
Someone seriously loves cats to compose an orchestra to match a cat video. Entertaining.
Do u know the Kiffness ? He makes cats music
When I clicked this video I thought it was made for funny purposes. I'm surprised that you arranged a whole concert piece around all those clips of Nora playing the piano. And I'm even more surprised and astonished that it sounds so good!. Very well made! I love it!
That was my first thought as well! I thought this was going to be a YTP or a fake cat videos like the Keyboard Cat, but it's a genuine cat pianist with a real chamber orchestra and an actual arrangement.
Applauds whoever composed this soothing and beautiful piece from random notes played by a cat. Creativity at it's finest.
I CALL IT RANDOM PLAYING.
Random?
Its not it's.
It's not random, since the cat is repeating several notes on purpose.
@@andersengman3896
Do you believe the cat is truly playing the notes with intent? Or do you suppose the cat is more like a small human child banging on the keys just to hear a sound with no particular notes in mind?
I dedicate this music to my three cats who passed away this year❤❤❤
So sorry for your loss.
❤
This is modern piano music. Very modern.
Of course, you cannot expect the cat to play Mozart 😂
@@wendywong3871 Of course she plays piano beatifully😜 . I only mentionned that it is modern music. We have Paderewski and Bach, each one chooses what he/she prefere😷
They actually composed a goddamn concerto above those random notes recordings of the cat? Unbelievable. That's really good.
+Shachar Har-Shuv Its excellent. They did cheat a little tiny bit by repeating at 2:51
Shachar - watch the video of Nora actually playing - just the piano alone - you'll see that she is quite thoughtful. This is not just a cat banging on the keys!
How dare you call the notes random!
this is a power of classical school. they just could!
welcome to Lithuania :)
I dont know how i come to this 14 years old video but i am happy
Me too! Simply LOVE it!!! ❤❤❤❤
Someone else has this masterpiece recommended by the algorithm today?
This beautiful talented cat has helped contribute in bringing joy and wonder to humanity. Thank you for sharing. God bless
It's really quite genuis to have written music around the kitty's piano parts in a way that makes the piece feel and sound so natural. Kudos!
I’M SO HAPPY KNOWING THAT A COMPOSER WROTE AN ENTIRE CONCERTO BASED ON A KITTY PLAYING PIANO ON RUclips
ruclips.net/video/Kkia6mWxwbI/видео.html
All that money spent on kitty’s music lessons certainly was well worth it 👏👏bravo
Yes, it's so funny! Cheers from France.
Un magnifique chat qui serait un vrai virtuose du piano, c'est fou, mais tellement adorable. 😻 👍
Cette vidéo est juste extraordinaire. Et les pattes qui jouent délicatement. Comme ça fait du bien 🤩
I see we have all recently been summonned here after 14 years of this masterpiece. Truly inspiring performance by Master Nora
That emotion captured by the musicians was delightful. I had to listen the whole tune. So beautiful! Hope the solist got a good mackerel as a reward...
This is all so precious. This was literally edited and arranged orchestally together. The whole video was delightful.
У моего кота нет фортепьяно, но я наблюдала за ним, как он, лежа на пуфе перед телевизором, самозабвенно слушал красивую инструментальную музыку.
Вот и сейчас он с мурканьем прибежал ко мне. Меломан!
THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN ON RUclips SINCE 2009 AND I ONLY JUST DISCOVERED IT TODAY???? Scandalous!
Exactly! Outrageous! 😻
Me too!
Me too !😅
Don't feel so bad. I just found it on July 4, 2019. I can't stand to watch TV with what's going on in Washington. So I'm going all over RUclips. So don't feel so bad. Wasn't it the cutest?
Hihi
Never underestimate the talents of a cat. Bravo!
Pianist Nora is right up there with the elephant who paints or painted modern art. So expressive.
Well done, film editor.
Ooooh REALLY? Is there a link you can share of this?? I'd love to see!! GOSH...It's SO ethereal to keep discovering the things are fellow friends of the animal kingdom can do!!🙃😃
Beautiful. How boldly unconventional for the featured soloist to perform in the nude. She really connects whole-pawedly with her art.
In the nude? She’s wearing a magnificent fur coat!
I'm surprised more pianists don't use that "whole face" technique -- it seems to work well for him!
ROFL! Wouldn't that be hysterical! I can just picture some ridiculous nudist rolling all over the keyboard.
😂😂😂
Her
I've seen whole-face technique employed, but usually in piano bars, and always late at night...
LOL
When Wagner's music was performed for the very first time, critics compared his music to "the sound of a cat walking on a piano keyboard". Thanks to Nora, we know now how beautiful it must have been. 😊
You have a very beautiful name!
That cat appears to have a good sense of pitch and tempo, a genuine maestro !
My mother always declared that animals have no souls.
This cat definitely got Soul!
Onaseasidemi yes animals have. Souls n when they pass away they go straight to heaven n sit and sing Gods praises. They have no sin
@@lindaredmon1810I'm with you. The Breath of Life comes from God and it animates both man and beast. To suggest animals lack an immortal soul is to suggest part of God is not eternal.
Omg! How she used her body to soften the notes….. I’m crying with joy! Thank you masters!
😢❤😢
Very e-meow-tional piece. It’s truly very mew-ving. 😢
Clearly every note is thought about carefully - clearly divinely inspired with a transcendent quality - a prodigy up there with Mozart
I wonder how you can teach a cat to play the piano like that…
She obviously knew exactly what she was doing and was enjoying the music. Gorgeous.
Nora is actually playing for us. It brings me to such happy tears as well as sad 😢 because I think of all the sentient beings who could be like Nora and not given the chance.
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.
This is what the internet was made for! 👏👏👏👏👏😸
Wow, someone really wrote a whole arrangement around this cats mashing keys and then convinced a whole orchestra to play along. Incredible
+1 😂😂😊😊🎉🎉❤❤😮😮
It's a very beautiful thing that has happened, here!
@@thomassicard3733 Very beautiful indeed.
You're the kind that sees the worst in life ,you've sad.
Wow! He even puts his ear down near to the keys like Beethoven had to in order to hear correct sound!
Happy to hear Nora Cat is still alive. She is a real musician.
The composer did a wonderful job creating music incorporating the cat's tapping on the piano keys. He deserves praise. Beautiful music. The cat is very cute.
The part at [01:45] when the soloist went from Bb to G was simply magnificent
И мне понравился переход, ) а также на 02:51.
This was composed by a Lithuanian composer and orchestra. I found this video few years ago when they had only about 10K views and now they have over 14 million. It's a really beautiful and touching piece. It makes you cry. And for people that say it's a joke, they don't know how to recognize real music. Also, I believe there was a you tube channel or a website for Nora the cat.
Frankly, this is amazing and utterly moving. I know that cats are generally musical and soulful creatures, but Nora, the pianist kitty is just wonderful! I love her feline audience, too! A great hug to her and to all the fellow musicians who brought this production together!😻🎼🎵🎶♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This actually doesn't sound bad at all. In fact it's pretty damned good
Debussy is definitely second to this cat.😊😊
Uncanny is the word to me. How the "random slop" notes actually fit with the 'backing' is kind of astonishing. Get this little doll a private music tutor immediately.
So glad Nora is still with us. My cat is nearly 20 and even though he isn't a great pianist, I am very proud of him.
I loved this. Such a solemn, soulful, intriguing piece of music.....just coming straight from the cat's heart. She clearly enjoys the sounds and her piano. Animals are so magnificent, and should never be underestimated for the sentinent beings they are.
Cudos also to the musicians who added their magic around something so unique and special.
There’s something so adorable and special about Nora and her original piano composition. Perhaps it could be called, “KittyComp in AG”.
Tears, real tears mind you, tears of joy, elation and hope. I feel a warmth in my heart I have not felt in ages. The fortitude in this feline is awe inspiring. You cannot deny the emotion that she is expressing through her priceless paws. I am hungry, hungry for more. I shall watch again and again, this I must. Nora, oh precious Nora. It is a delight to hear you play.
What a coincidence this should pop up in my feed, I was only thinking about Nora a couple of days ago and wondering if she was still with us. God bless and wishing her a long and healthy life.
Many years ago I had a cat that loved to play the piano.
She even is playing the right keys ! Just amazing ! What a great talent. And to show the world how beautiful she plays gives us all something to keep in our hearts and minds. Thank you for sharing 🐱
How adorable is this kitty! ❤️😍👏👏👏
she is a jazz cat at heart .......reminds me of thelonious monk , and a touch of late miles davis approch ....but chopin feel too . ....music reaches all ......in many ways ......wonderfull cat artist .
Magnificent! I’ve played for 15 years and this cat plays better than I do.
As Albert Schweitzer (a fine musician as well as a great humanitarian) said, "There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats."
AnnieLaurie Burke How right he was.
AnnieLaurie Burke 👍👍👍
Do the math, AnnieLaurie. In this instance, that’s one means of refuge, not two!
Human's talents used at its best. This is what humanity is made for. Thanks so much, you brought joy to a troubled heart ❤️
Nora you're right up there with Chopin, you're an amazing pianist
❤❤
The music is touching, the notes played by the cat seems random but is very melodic indeed. The composed concerto for this cat piano is superb. I really like this as I am also a cat lover. 👍
It's my cousin
Ma name is jeff
@@mrkitty777 my beer spurted thru my nose!! 😂😂😂
I am actually a cat. And I approve. 😽
First of all I have to stop laughing... this is beyond phenomenal. I'm a professional musician. This is classical music and this cat is understanding some very important things, like playing a note softly, or doing trills... I'm so blown away by this. This must've been weird for the owner when they discovered that their pet could do this.
The owner's hand was shown in the video instructing the cat to play the piano.
Thank you:)
Today is 2024. Glory to Nora the beautiful artistic cat and a friend to a People of human race!!!)
Oh my goodness, this is just too cute!!! 😻😻😻 As a pro musician and a cat lover at the same time, I absolutely adore this!!! Always thought that cats are very sensitive to music!!! Brilliant performance by the orchestra, too!!!
Bravo ❤❤❤!!!
May Nora always be remembered for her love of beautiful music and for her amazing ability on the piano. She is greatly missed!!❤❤❤
This comment is a lie she is still alive according to the Facebook page
Let's just wait a minor second here. If anything, this piece is a testament to how much cat lovers love their cats.
+bee cee minor second is a musical interval
Alan Bricker, you are cute :)
Thanks, very much, Fraususemil. My mother would most definitely agree with you.
Alan Bricker
:D

Umm ... no. It's intentionally exactly like this. It is called dissonance.
No, Joke. It's all a joke, this cat obviously loves causing sounds and a latvian composer named Mindaugas Pietaitìs has composed a concert along to its recordings. So put the blame on Mr. Piecaitìs, not the cat >^,,^
Props to the orchestra for keeping it together during the performance.
Well...
The cat seemed to enjoy playing n even would look around for approval after hitting the keys! Sweet ☺☺
Very soulful, expressive playing...lovely arpawggios. 😏🐱
I'll never get tired of watching and listening to this. Amidst the floods of ignorance and sadness in the world this is a gem of gems.
An entire composition based on this cats piano? This really is beautiful, meaningful, hilarious 😂
Такой Кайф послушать КОТЭ ...классного пианиста !!!....2023 год 1 октября вечер !

i think i have finally lost my marbles as i sit here watching a cat play the piano with an orchestra
This is what youtube was made for.
Yeah, especially when they're better than am I 😐
😮 Actually, you're Watching A Concert Orchestra Play With A
Cat❗😊🍄🏁😎😼👍💫
All these years later, I still love this. Now, it even makes me tear up a bit. I was so happy and healthy, then. My best years, along with sweet little Nora, who started the whole "cats own the internet" thing.💐😹
A serious diva and very talented. Absolutely cativating!!
She’s brilliant! Loved how Noras piano solo was echoed by the flute solo! Love her musicality. Glad she’s still alive.
FANTASTIC WORK on adapting Nora's amazing piano playing into such wonderful purrformance! You did a remarkable job arranging & filling out out the piece perfectly to accompany her music, building on it without taking away from it. Matching her tones & chords (even discordant as they are) in such creative ways that musically work SO WELL! Thank you for this unique, beautiful, playful, & thoughtful tribute to this special cat & her love of music!
❤
I cried for missing my Russian Blue who also loved the piano. Thanks!
😢😿♥️😺
I must be going mad, this made me cry.
I am beyond thrilled that this came up again in my thread today. It’s been a while since I’ve seen this and so happy so I made a comment that Nora is still with us. I thought that I had save this video but I didn’t and now I can so thank you to an algorithm for a change. ❤❤❤❤
❤🥰🙏
Pues la Gata Nora es una sublime pianista compositora. Ya quisiera yo jugar al piano como ella .felicitacion a todo el Équipo orchetra que le a accompano .dublime video Gracias ❤❤❤❤🎶🎹😼👏👏👏
We had a Siamese that used to watch me while I played the piano....then one day he did just as Nora did in the video. It got to the point where he would not let me play. The piano became his possession.
Lol that's some nerve you feed him😆😹
🥰😸😸😸😸👏👏👏👏 What a great story
That is the nicest story!
This is the world best modern piano concert by genius cat pianist 🎉
She puts so much emotion into it. I loved the paws in the middle section.
Such beauty from Nora's performance.
Apparently she trained at the Mancattan School of Music.
I could hear shades of Twinkle Twinkle and Chopsticks! Brilliant Kitty Cat!!
This is one of the most awesome thing I’ve watched in this several years.
I’am glad you like it😊
Just so wonderful to see how much Nora enjoys playing the piano. A very talented cat ❤❤
I smiled and then I cried. My heart was so full.
So did I. I'm still crying. It touched the deepest part of my soul.
I had the BIGGEST smile when it started playing. And I'm a grumpy old man.
She so talented and adorable
What a great kitty!!! She is so appreciative of the music she's playing! I'm near tears!!
The orchestra was amazing. I would love to hear the story about how this event happened. So sooo creative!
Smart kitty can play by ear real well; I'm very seriously impressed!
I love how the other cats are quietly sitting and listening.
Many animals really enjoy music ;D
This is so beautiful to watch. It’s amazing. My cat rubbed up against my phone while I was watching and started purring. She likes to hear me play, but Nora plays better than me! I love her! ❤
😻😻😻
WOW that is a Talented Cat 😺
Talented kids train and practice for years, never get a concert. Cat plays a few notes, becomes classical genius, love it!!
That's what you call real talent; a prodigy kitten!
So true! lol :) Cheers from France
@@dominiquelarueenchantez-vous Hello from Texas! Viva La France!
Nora ! Nora! Nora! .
Her reward after the concert . A bowl of fresh water, another bowl of cat meat and dry crunches. Wich she often may share with her cat fan club in the video. I am a human fan but , I have to say . Meow!
She has a great ear for pitch! And such a natural sense of rhythm. And of course, pawfect technique! We had a cat, Trinity, that lived to be 22. ♥️
Cats must have various intelligence levels and this cat is obviously a genius.
Very clever kitty; very clever human to pair the two performances! Thanks.
She will reincarnate as a human who loves music and is very talented! 🎹 we will be hearing her again soon
Better off as a housecat.
Кто теперь скажет, что котики не умеют петь и играть на музыкальных инструментах? Главное, они попадают в такт мелодии. Браво пушистик!🐈🔥
What a talented performer! Great piece, beautifully executed.
Composer : no one can write music like mozart
Cat : hold my catnip
"hold my catnip" 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
