The tenth work from De Mes Amis, Les Animaux, the little cat soothes and relaxes both listener and performer. The peaceful melody soars above a relatively standard accompaniment pattern as we imagine a soft and elegant feline holding in her soul all the contentedness Ð and yet all the wonder Ð that the world has to offer. This is one of the easiest pieces in the set, and is very popular with students, especially cat lovers.
