| Title Name | Sonata in g Minor (Cat's Fugue) |
| Marketing Copy | Originally composed by Domenico Scarlatti (1685–1757) in the early 1730s (published 1739), Sonata in G Minor, “Cat’s Fugue” is one of his most famous keyboard works, known for its jagged, dramatic opening theme (legend has it that Scarlatti was inspired by his cat walking across the keyboard) and its intense, lively fugal writing. The “Cat’s Fugue” is a single-movement sonata, originally for harpsichord, which has charmed and intrigued audiences for centuries with its energetic contrapuntal design. The version has been arranged by Richard E. Thurston for woodwind quintet, bringing new colors and textures to the work by distributing Scarlatti’s original lines among these varied timbres. |
