On the birthday of Domenico Scarlatti, beware his “Cat’s Fugue.” Scarlatti’s feline companion, Pulcinella, used to walk across the keys of his harpsichord. The story goes that on one of those occasions, the composer jotted down the notes and used it as the lead subject for his famous sonata. Spooky.
