Composer: Aaron Copland ► At a concert of student works – including his own – the young Copland was approached by Jacques Durand of the prominent music publishing firm Durand. Durand offered to publish a short piano work of Copland’s that was featured on the program; The Cat and the Mouse thus became the first of many works by the composer which came to comprise an important and distinguished body of music for the piano.
