Great Migrations, and Arensky's Piano Trio
From Domenico Scarlatti's "Cat Fugue," where his cat is said to have composed the melody by walking across his harpsichord, to this week's 21st century work, part of a film score for National Geographic's "Great Migrations" series, we've got an hour of musical critters today. Plus, his teacher predicted that he was doomed to obscurity. But Anton Arensky's music still gets played fairly often. We'll hear his lovely piano trio, from a concert at the Strings Music Festival in Colorado.
