Does anyone who read this know much about Rossini?

Was this a "real" piece he wrote (using "meow" as the lyrics), or is this a later joke?



It's like the "Pavane pour une Hello Kitty Defunte..."

(OK, one site calls it "Duetto Buffo di due gatto..." but then they append "spurious" to it...so maybe it is a made-up thing. Or maybe it's for-real of that era, but Rossini did not write it...)

As far as I know, it's a real thing. I've heard it performed on multiple occasions.

Wikipedia has this to say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duetto_buffo_di_due_gatti
