Origin

This popular name has begun to be used not the thing which the person of composition named it from the time in the early 19th century by the legend about the odd motif which constituted fugue. According to the legend, love cat プルチネッラ of Scarlatti was interested so that there was a sound, and there was a custom to cross it over the keyboard of the harpsichord. Scarlatti began to write one phrase from these "improvisation", and used it as a main motif of the fugue (cf. score of the top right corner); [¹].

This popular name is used for a concert program of the 19th century and employs the publishers such as Muzio Clementi [²] of the godparent, curl Zell knee, Alessandro Longo (English version) [³].

Influence

The score was published in London in 1739. George Friedrich Handel known as the reuse of the former work of oneself and "a loan" from music of another person hangs it in the end of October from the end of September, 1739 and finished writing "collection of 12 concerto grosso work 6", but the strange pitch going down it of the third music second movement reminds you of a motif of this music of Scarlatti [⁴]. "36 fugue ninth for pianos" of 1803 by アントニーン レイハ of the composer is based on the subject same as the fugue of the cat in music theorists [⁵].

The Hans phone bureau arranges this music for piano concert performances [⁶].

Performance

It becomes the popular music in the 19th century. Franz List brought score incorporated it in a program in Berlin from written copy collector of Rome, Abbe サンティーニ in the early 1840s [⁷]. イグナーツ Moscheles played this music, too. I incorporate both in a program with a title of "the fugue of the cat" [³].
