Fuga del gatto (2016)

Carlotta Ferrari (b. 1975) — Fuga del gatto (2016) for organ

"Fuga del gatto" is based on the same subject used in a sonata by Domenico Scarlatti (K. 30; L. 499) which later gained a nickname of "cat's fugue" because of a (likely apocryphal) story telling that the theme was devised when a cat walked over the keys.

Carlotta Ferrari (b. 1975) is an Italian composer.
