The sonata in G minor (K [1] 30, L [2] 499) by Domenico Scarlatti (1685–1757), known as the "Katzenfugen", is a one -han sonata for Cembalo in a 6/8 cycle with the speed name Moderato. Because of her musical motif, she is called a cat joint. The nickname became her early 19th Century awarded and had never been used by the composer himself. Its origin lies in a legend of how Scarlatti created the unusual musical motive on which the joint is based and sounds in the initial bars of the piece: After this imaginative history, Scarlatti had a cat called Pulcinella, while walking the musical motive on the keyboard. This was written down immediately by the composer, who then developed the entire piece from the motif. The nickname was in the 19th Century used in concert programs and was used by.
